A frosty sunny morning at Clear Lake

[Kokanee-Toni]

I set the alarm for 6 because I was going to be at the lake by 7 and on the water by 7:30AM. Reality: I wasn’t fishing until 8:50am. There was one boat launching and one fishing. It was pretty quiet with only a slight breeze and a beautiful morning with the mountain showing through the frosty air. I started out going east out of the launch and didn’t get a hit until I had gone half way around the lake. Once I got that fish in, I circled the area and hooked 4 more keeping 3. One I caught was next year’s fish. I was only there about an hour and a half. I used my usual yellow, orange, and pink dodgers and lures to start and when that didn’t work I changed up. I caught the fish on a 50/50 Luhr Jensen 4/0 dodger with a Wannafish A Lure Glided Lily (similar) and Sep’s Watermelon dodger and a Wannafish A Lure Green Ice with a hammered brass blade. I used shoepeg corn and gulp maggots in pink or green. The fish were between 11-12 inches.

I took pictures of what the meat looks like so that one might be able to tell what is boot to them...
they will smoke up fine. tooexcited

That fish looks nasty you may be able to smoke it but it's still bad fish just like deep frying you can deep fry anything and it tastes good but it don't make it good for ya bad fish is bad fish leave them swamp donkeys alone to spawn
