I got invited to fish the Gorge with a friend on Sat., since I haven't got my boat over there yet it seemed like a nice chance to catch a koke or two. We fished just out of Buckboard in the Big bend area. The water temp was 44 when we started and stayed there all day. We started fishing at 20ft. catching some kokes but a lot of pup macs. After releasing a fish I let out my line and while putting the line in the downrigger release, I had a hard hit and hooked up with a koke. After that we started fishing at 7to 10 feet and caught kokes and no more Macs. The kokes were mostly 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 lbs. we did catch one that was 3 lbs. but for the most part the large ones eluded us We were using Kokanee Creek flashers and pink and white kokanee spinners, and pink squids. It was a nice day with no wind 'til around 3 P.M. Had my first fresh Koke dinner Sun. great eat'in. No pics this time.
