Kokanee

[Bergger]

Well the Kokanee are finally starting to spawn in the Dream Stream section of the South Platte. They are about 2-3 weeks late, as I found out the last time I went up there! The weather could not have been nicer. Here's a pic of the largest one I caught, 23". The rest were 16-22".

nice!!!!

I haven't even strung up the fly rod this year. It's been too dry, too warm, or there's no water.

Well done, Bergger. Nice fish.

Fly-rod or spinning?

If semi-duty didn't call for my going south (Baja 1000) right now, I'd head a bit further north than the Snake River Plain. There always seems to be something that interferes with my fall fly-fishing.

I worked hard on a lower section of Silver Creek Sunday but wasn't at all productive. Wonder if the fact that a pair of mink was patrolling the same stretch of water had anything to do with it......

Thanks for posting. Looks great.

P.S. Nice cap too.

Kokanee is a fish?!

Wow, articulate is going to be disappointed. I thought Kokanee was Canadian for Busch.......

I've always wanted to try that beer just due to the name!

6wt fly rod on a nuclear egg.
