A first find for me...three times!

[Ray in CA]

Hah! Bet you thought I was talking about coins, didn't ya?

I had a few hours early this morning to go out and do some real fishing, my first time since moving up here to Washington.

I headed out to the dam area of Riffe Lake and nailed a few keeper 10" Kokanee trout. Little did I know they like salad shrimp rather than salmon eggs. Fortunately for me the guy next to me shared some of his to help me catch my three (limit is five, but didn't have enough time to stay). These fish are a lot of fun on ultra light tackle.

It was real interesting because it seemed as if school after school of these Kokanee would come in and bite like crazy. One guy had a nice 17 incher on and he lost it at the bank. Another guy 50 feet down from him saw it floating to the surface near him about half hour later and swooped it up by hand (and kept it!).

Steelhead and Salmon are next on the list...when I find the time.

I'm not a fisherman but I have drowned a few worms with my father when younger. From what I gather if you are pulling hard enough to set the hook and the heads are flying off you need to use a little more drag?

Just a thought?

Now if I can just get all of you to give up the Detectors and go fishing all summer I might find something with my detector this summer? Something to think about?
