Kokanee are still in Jordy

[Paddler]

I had a tough day yesterday, first skunk in I don't know how long.  With the full moon I thought I'd go up in the afternoon/evening.  The gusting wind made it tough on my AP and made speed control difficult.  It didn't abate until just after 7:00.  There is a thermocline, it was ~66F on top and stayed above 60F till 15'-20'.  It was 54.3F at 35', and ~52F at 40', so I mostly fished between 30'-35', but went as shallow as 25' and as deep as 40'.  Marked two small schools at around 40'.  Only had two takedowns, both pulled the line out of the downrigger clip and stayed on briefly.  I figure they were kokes with only one hook in them, one of them felt pretty good.  Fished nearly 7 hours, didn't land a fish.  Fished as far down as close to the dam and back in the Rock Creek arm all the way back to the scar on the south side.  I'll be back.

It's just as well, the fish cleaning station was closed and wrapped in plastic. I called and spoke to the assistant manager, I believe her name is Jessica. She told me that they need a new motor and are waiting for the new fiscal year, which starts July 1. They have no idea how much the motor will cost or when the unit will be operational. I requested the park manager give me a call when she's back in the office next week. They apologized, but I told her I'd prefer they just get it fixed. Maybe a phone campaign would light a fire. Seems like they cater more to the wakeboard crowd than us fishermen.
