This week has been a week of fish on excitement and hard work by all my fantastic customers, THANK YOU ALL!!. Kokanee have been on the move and locating them a real challenge. Thank you Don & Alexa on Tuesday for your efforts and great rod work. Ken and William joined the group on Wednesday and learned how to fish for the silver bullets and net them. Andy and his very competitive pal Kevin joined in on the fun Thursday. Apparently their voices could be heard across Detroit lake as they fought over the rods & the kokanee and whom had the biggest fish. Finally, on Friday father & son, Dean and Andy, shared another trip with me to continue their kokanee lessons. Even though the day was met with a tough bite we managed to put 15 fish in the box. The last one was caught as we were drifting with the wind at 2.3 mph and had all ready taken our group picture. We did have some nice sized kokanee. I'm so grateful to all of you and have enjoyed guiding you into kokanee on Detroit Lake. Until next time.....
Safe boating & Tight lines
Bernie

We did catch 4 nice trout but threw them back. We did catch one nice kokanee...... Read More
