I went out this morn and couldn't find or maybe I should say get a koke to bite. I did get 3 nice bows, felt great on the 5wt. When they ran they ran straight down it seemed.
I was using a sink tip line so I had made a another section of heavy sinking line and loop conected it to the sink tip end. I was marking fish at 25' and i believe these might have been kokes as the bows seem to be nearer the surface when they took my fly
I did have a old fishing fellow tell me of a way to make a rubber snubber using a rubber band and putting a loop on each end with a nail knot. When I tried it this morn and had a hit there was too much give and I couldn't set the hook so the rubber band would need to be tougher.
I tried some more colorful flies to try an imitate some of the lures the trollers use and even put some anise scent on a fly but no kokes today.
Do you think that the fish i was marking at 25' were the koke's? I realise there probably no way to really tell without getting one to take a fly.
Thanks
