With the wonderful weather that we have been having. I just couldn't get in the mood to go fly fishing. So I packed up my ice fishing stuff one more time and headed to Pali
es.
I wanted to try out a new Jason Mitchell "Meat Stick" rod that I got from Cabelas year end sale. It is meant for perch and kokanee so I went to the area where I usually get into the Kokes.
I didn't get up early I probably should have when I arived I caught 3 fish right away and then it died.
The first fish was the most exciting. It was a 23" brown, and a fat one at that. It hit my koke pole really hard and my drag was singing. I mananged to get him in on that little pole then I released him so I can catch him again when he is 27". I caught him on a little rat finkie.
THen I caught a 12" cutt and a 10" Koke. Then it died and I went home around noon. All in all it was great way to say goodbye to the ice for the year.
Sorry no pics. I forgot my camera at home and my cell phone in my truck.
