In preparation for a Lower Deschutes trip next week, my friend Scott needed check out his jet boat. So, we headed to LBC for a few hours early this morning and figured we would do a little kokanee fishing at the mouth of the Metolius. It was a beautiful day and were surprised when Scott hooked into a very big fish. Was it a really big trout? A bull trout? No, it was a spring chinook. He landed it on a 4wt fly rod and 4x tippet! He briefly pulled it out of the water for a photo and then released it. Pretty cool. BTW, there were plenty of kokanee to be had there as well.
