So my Dad, “Chester Jahn” hit the lake at high noon on Friday the 7th and caught his limit in a matter of hours. Look at the picture below. I couldn’t wait to meet up with the old man on Saturday and try our luck.
You know when you have those days that you fish all the poles that the law allows with everything you got in your tackle box and nothing. Then you have the days that you fish all the poles all day and scratch out only a few, and then you have those great days that you catch lots with little too no effort. Well this was one of those days that it didn’t matter what we put out, who I had reeling them in, I only fished three poles, with the downriggers, and I didn’t have to resort to long lining for numbers. I could stick to one color combination all day and we still hammered the crap out of the fish.
We fish down by the damn this time, and the fish got bigger the closer we got to it. The fish are 12 to 14 inches and are running 25 to 40 feet. They are starting to group up big time. After we marked them you could almost countdown to 7 before pure chaos. We had triples and double almost all day long. We let the kids reel in all the fish and I didn’t even care that we lost 25 to 30 fish. We left the lake early with 50 kokanee and the 25 kokanee dad caught on Friday plus eight rainbow we let go. The only down side to the trip was I stayed up until 1:00am cleaning the 75 kokanee. The lucky Flash of the day was this one from Shasta Tackle, Look at picture below. Niilo won it for getting second place in the junior division at the Diamond Lake fishing derby last year, and he insisted that we used it. Watch out because I think he is going to use it during the Billy Chinook tournament.
Hope you enjoy the report because I have more on the way….
