Chum Chaser, The Graesy Chum and I hit Wood Lake on Sunday. We counted over 20 boats trolling - good thing there was room for everyone and plenty of kokanee showing on the sonar between 5 and 30 feet below the surface. There were also quite a few larger rainbows chasing the schools. Weather was beautiful, the wind was calm but the fishing was slow. We had several fish on but lost most of them. Our hooks were sharp but we could be losing fish simply due to the fact that the tissue around the mouth and gums of a kokanee is so soft that the hook pulls free. I think we'll use rubber snubbers next time to absorb some of the tension from the line and gear and try not to be more patient when we feel the "tap" of the bite. We were using gang trolls with a wedding band and worm or small kwikfish plugs.
