went to the gorge for the first time this season, the koke fishing was HOT!! doubles happened often and we got a couple triples, ended up catching about 75 kokes in the couple days we were there along with a hand full of rainbows nice big healthy ones along the shore throwing 3" predator color maniac minnows and a couple looked like cuttbows, we even landed a few pups from shore, the burbot were picky and only lost a few none wanted to be eaten, and it seems the smallies are moved out, for the kokes we were 35 feet back 30-40 feet down on the down riggers with a smaller dodger and pink micro squids or the kokanee killer flat fish looking lure, same thing on the leaded line rods running 6 colors out, 1.7 mph seemed to be the magic speed hope this helps! also some big kokes 2.5-3lbs from anvil trolling to the rock wall by the pipeline. on to catfish season!
