The Kokanee are calling me! The weather will be perfect. Several of us will be launching at Dark Day at 8am. If you need a fix, come on up and join us. We'll be on Ch69.

Not sure Troy. With the recent storms, I haven't been to Bullards or Sly in two months. Hearing that Bullards is putting out nice sized fish so I'd bet money that Sly Creek is even better.

Wow what a blast today at Sly Creek. I was ready to head out when Kevin showed up so he pointed out the way to go. Right off the bat I landed a nice brown, and then for awhile I only had a few bites. Eventually Kevin caught up, and I followed him, as he explained that we just needed to keep going until found the Kokanee schools.

Eventually we did, and it was nonstop bites, and lost fish. I ended up with my limit of 5 10-11” and a rainbow by the time headed in.

A big thank you to Kevin for showing me the way to my first Kokanee.

Had a great day! Met Mark at the ramp and got on the water about 9:00. Trolled towards the dam and picked up a 11” Kokanee. Marked a few fish here and there but no schools in front of the dam. Thinking, uh oh, this is not looking too good. On a usual day we get our 5 fish limit by the time we get to the end of the dam. Caught up with Mark there. We continued to go up the South East arm. Nothing. Only a mark every once in a while. Stuck it out and kept going all the way to the back of the arm. Bingo, started marking fish everywhere from 15-40’. For the next 4 hours it was hit after hit. Ended up the day landing 17 Kokes and 2 Rainbows. Had tons of short strikes and lost 6 at the net. Not exactly on fire fishing. Usually we land 30 or so each. Still, there was plenty of action to keep it interesting. Brought home 5 Kokes and the two Rainbows. The rest and many more are still there waiting for you. Mark, it was a pleasure meeting and fishing with you. Congratulations on breaking your Kokanee cherry!                Kevin

Right on, nice work!  My in-laws live in Grass Valley - I've been meaning to bring the kayak and head out there for along time now.  Next time for sure.
