Notes
Early to bed, Early to rise, Fish all day, and make-up lies. This saying frequent me through out the day. After a failed attempt to fish the day before, back to the lake the following day. The second day of the opener was a much better day compared to the previous day. The wind remained calm and I was able to stay out on the water for as long as I wanted to. This does not happen very often on Wickiup. Typically, you can fish to about noon and the wind normally chases you off. If only the fish would have cooperated.
The first fish was on after five minutes of jigging. That one got away. The second fish about 20 minutes later. That one landed in the live well. As for me, that was the last one to make it to the well. About an hour passed before I lost the third one and nothing but light hits after that one. In all, Bret, Ali, and I put three fish in the live well. I think the total lost was three. Trollers seemed to have the better luck with kokanee. There were more of them than there were people jigging.
In addition to the surrounding view, I saw a flock of white-fronted geese fly over, a loon on the water, a bald eagle, and an osprey.
