Fishing for Cutthroats and Kokanee

A couple weeks ago Jimmy, Parker and I went to our favorite lake in search of Cutthroat trout and Kokanee. Odd combo I know but we made it work just not how we planned.  We loaded and up headed south and reached our destination at sunrise. The lake is extremely low at this time of year and the ramp looked a mile long.  I backed us down and launched the Fish Steeler for our day on the lake.  We were one of a dozen on the lake better than the other lakes for that weekend where they were ant hills.

Fishing "Perch" Creek 4 Species Day!

Shifty and I went out a month ago and fished at Deer Creek. Our plan was to troll for trout in the morning and then go for some smallmouth bass in the afternoon. We were trolling pop gear and worm. We fished the morning away trolling the lanes and banks hoping for some big fat rainbow trout. What we caught were Perch, more than we had caught in years at the reservoir. Yes, we were still trolling for trout. We each got a rainbow trout but we were catching more perch, I got one a Rapala up shallow in the water column.
