I hope you all had a great Father’s Day celebration. I sure did. Went fishing, of course with my Dad, Dave Graybill, and my brother Rick. We traveled to Billy Clapp Lake, which is east of Soap Lake. We hit a great day to be on the water. It was not to hot and not too windy, so conditions were very good to fish for the kokanee in the lake. Billy Clapp is known for really big kokanee. I caught some last summer that were 19 inches and very fat. The kokanee weren’t too active when we visited the lake, though. We got a few hits, and lost of couple near the boat. One of the ones that got away confirmed what we had heard about the size of the kokanee at Billy Clapp. It was a whopper. We plan to get back to Billy Clapp later this summer and see if the bite is better in late July and August. That’s when I did the best here last year. When I go back I am also going to take my bass gear with me. I understand that the smallmouth bass fishing at Billy Clapp is pretty goo, too.
