Lemon Kokanee and Pastorius Fun

We were on Lemon by 7 but the wind picked up something fierce and blew us off the lake pretty quick, our little trolling motor could barely keep us moving forward. We did use what seemed like a ridiculous set up while targeting the kokanee... Weight, Flashers, a wedding ring (funny looking spinner lure with a single hook on the back) tipped with anise soaked shoepeg corn. Sound weird? Apparently it's quite ordinary for the hordes of Kokanee fishermen out there. I never knew there was such a cult surrounding this tasty fish. Lis caught a little Kokanee so our technique worked but we had to go in, the wind and whitecaps were too much for the looboat. We picked up Chad and headed to Pastorius where the weather was much more pleasant. We caught a ton of rainbows that were nice looking for stockers, maybe they were last years' We also caught a few bass which provided a lot of fun on that little fly rod. We got to watch this awesome sequence of Osprey badassitude too. All in all it was a pleasant and nice day although it didn't go quite as planned. Again, I've said bad things about Pastorius in the past and I'll probably say them again, but for being a couple minutes out of town it's a nice plan B until the squabbling bureaucrats get Lake Nighthorse going. Cheers!
