Well, I sure hope you do well. The kokanee either seemed to start hitting for the first time at 1:00 (when we had to leave!) or they were congregated by the buoy marking the now submerged island....due north of the buoy. The fish and game reported today that they can be found by the dam. When we caught our last two at the buoy, two other boats near us hooked kokes almost simultaneously. By the way, have you tried the hootchies (plastic squids). They are very successful in other koke fisheries, but yesterday was the first time I have ever tried them... for kokanee. I use them exclusively for mackinaw in Payette L. and fishing for salmon in the Straits. Anyway, I look forward to your report. Mike
