Kalamalka lake over the past couple of years has been known to give up some Big Kokanee. While trolling for them I had a big Rainbow Trout take the lure. This Monster is my personal best rainbow trout to date and was caught trolling on a down rigger at 50 feet. It was a very hot afternoon and he faught to the death, leaping and jumping right out of the water in the near 80 degree water did him in. Sadly was not able to release this big rainbow trout after trying for a long time.

Now that's a Rainbow Trout Selfie

Nice fishy.


Steelhead?   

Nice one Brandon, did you weigh it?

It was 27 inches 12.5 inch girth and only 6.4 pounds.  Just a bullet, no girth to him.  No these are rainbows not steelhead but he looks like a steelhead.

Grats Brandon ..nice bow

Thanks for sharing

Congrats on catching that huge bow.....
