I've had the fortune to be on the product evaluation & development team of Stuart Angling's line of Kokanee lures and pop gear. It's fun to help shape a product into something exceptionally good!

See you on the water!

Yesterday was sunny and warm, considered trying it at American Lake but couldnt get going fast enough. I am hearing of success on Merwin Lake but not much about American Lake. Anybody out there trying American Lake?

Kelson, nice to see another Seattle angler on here. You should check out lake Cavenaugh in south Skagit or maybe North Snohomish county. It is a HOT KOKE lake. Temps need to warm up a bit though. PM me if you ever want to wet a line. (I just hitched up the boat....and now it is snowing and blowing like crazy). Back in the garage it goes!

eenakoK and Quadfather,
Thanks for the welcome. I do love chasing (and eating) these fish. I greatly enjoy working on new lure/dodger designs and get after them fairly hard until the salt heats up. I will keep you posted on my success and may take you up on a trip QF. Fish On. K

Welcome gentlemen,

Yes it is nice to see more guys farther up North. Cavanaugh is a good lake and Samish farther north should be another hot spot this season too.

Good luck out there guys and hopefully we'll meet out on a lake in the future.
