The bite is finally on at Nantahala Lake boys!

Got out for a couple of hours this morning and caught my first kokes of the seasontooexcited

. Had a couple of strikes and lost one fish on. Also got a trout.
I pass the torch to Trollmonkey, 1bigfish and Doc!

Good Job Ron, Keep us up on the fishing. It will probably be mid to late July when I get out,
waiting on my granddaughter to arrive.

Yo daddy oh, Man is that good news. Now I can sleep!. Hope to be there the 1st of July.
Thanks.

Very nice. Did your season just open or is this when the bite usually starts down there?

There is no season for kokes in NC. They naturally breed in several tributarys of Nantahala Lake. Nantahala is fairly large very deep lake. Until the lake stratifies the kokes can be virtualy anywhere. The lake took a long time for the thermocline to establish because of the unseasonally cold and rainy spring. Last year I was catching kokes in May. This year it took well into June to box and bracket them. I have a few good weeks until the thermocline drops into very deep water(the abyss 65+' deep) too deep for my light duty stuff.
