Bass lake

Never thought of that Mike, but I thought we weren't supposed to mention power bait on here lol.

Just pick up the empty jars that all the idiots leave on the bank

Glad to hear that you caught a few.  Last year everyone thought the koks were all killed off during the dam construction.  The DR is the way to go with these little guys.  I think leadcore takes most of the fun out of the fight.

Here is some more Bass lake fish porn from today, I had to work for these guys, one even decided to jump out of the yak after I removed the hook, damn near fell out of the yak trying to net him but I got him back in.

Nice haul of Kokes. What were you trolling?

Every thing but the kitchen sink! The only thing I could get them to hit was a wedding ring set up that I made with fluorescent glow orangish red beads rhinestone ring and a gold plated spinner. 

One thing I learned from trolling for trout it to use a double gamakasu hook set up since I did that even the soft mouth koke can't get off easy.

thanks for the info. I like the double hook rigging too. The one koke i caught on Sunday had one hook straight through its bottom jaw and the other impaled in its eye, so it wasn't going anywhere. I did miss a few bites and lost a few fish though...Maybe the ones that got away were kokes...

I stopped and talked to the Kokanee guides when I was leaving and they said it was a tuff day with a lot of short strikes I had my share of those today too I basically couldn't take my eyes off the down rigger pole they hit so lightly and weren't pulling the line from the release clip.
