Well, I got out on Hache this morning. Caught a few Kokanee but only tiny ones. Decided to keep one. Came back in, though it got way too windy. I'm waiting for it to calm down so I can head back out. I'm going to try targeting some Lake Trout later and try jigging for Burbot later this evening.

Decided to make a few casts before bed to see if I could coax another Dolly Varden into biting. Surprised by a sockeye salmon that grabbed a Pink Revolution fly. No C&R for this poor little guy. He's going to be on the menu tomorrow.
