Memorial Day weekend kayaking - lake trout, kokanee, and whitewater

(1/2) > >>

pmmpete:
On Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, a friend and I went fishing in the Dayton Bay area of Big Arm on Flathead Lake.  We downrigger trolled for lake trout between 30 and 85 feet, and each got two lake trout.  Which was about 6 miles per lake trout per person.







During the day we kayaked about a mile and a quarter over to Wild Horse Island, which is owned by the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks.  A couple of hundred bighorn sheep live on the island, but we didn’t see any from the water.











On Sunday we fished Lake Mary Ronan, a smaller lake about six miles from Flathead Lake.  I quickly caught my limit (10) of Kokanee.



On Monday I went kayaking on the Blackfoot River.  Because the river was high and muddy, the attraction was the rapids, not the fishing.

 Hey Pete,
 Looks like a great day on the water. With some fine fishes.

 Question for you ???? Why do you carry such a huge ice chest on back of your boat ???
