Kokanee King

Papa and JD took off early this morning to Green Peter Lake to go Kokanee fishing—our favorite fish while staying at Camp Cascadia. They launched the boat by 6 a.m. and were off to catch the big ones! Now catching these fish are sometimes tricky because you never know how deep they are, depending on the weather and the fish finder was unavailable. So back at the ranch we were just hoping they'd come back with at least one nice one. There have been several times when K has come back skunked!

Well, about noon-time I could hear the truck coming down the street, which is about normal timing for their return, because it gets pretty windy around that time at the lake and impossible to troll. Check out their catch—six great big ones! When the first fish surfaced, JD exclaimed "Wow, that's the biggest fish I've ever seen!" They are all 12 to 14 inch-ers.

K said that JD was a fantastic fisherman, and able to help bring them all in. He was on the net most of the time, but also reeled some in! what a great memory-maker day. Saturday, CD and JD get to go fishing with their Papa on Foster Lake.

Can't wait for dinner—yummo!

Life is good!
