It has been a grind from what I'm used to but then again, I'm spoiled with Flaming Gorge being my "home" lake for the summer.
 
West Coast Brads

I will say that it seems like the West Coast guys report a lot better luck with them. It makes me curious what the difference might be.

QWellmaybe, when you have a lure you like, you fish it harder and longer. Plus I think they are working with some specific guides, and these guys are influencing other anglers
 
Brad's cut plugs

I live on Coeur d'Alene Lake and fish at least 4 days a week for Kokanee (us old timers call them Bluebacks) anyway I've fished with everything from leaded line, ford fenders, wedding rings, etc. etc. I now fish with downriggers, a dodger, and Brad's cut plugs, Apex, and hand tied hoochies. My go to lure is a Brad's cut plug in a hot pink. It should be noted that I buy the plug without the any hooks or leader and tie my own double snelled hooks and add my own beads. When fished side by side against a hoochie or an Apex the Brads out fishes both of them. For the last two years we have been catching large bluebacks (15" to 17") fish. So thick it takes forever to smoke them, so I fillet them now. The fishing has been a little slow, went out for a couple of hours yesterday and only caught two but they were nice fish, 16". P.S. I use Pro Cure on my corn and then lace it with my special scent...I do not use maggots anymore.
