Hunting & Fishing Field Guide

Monster Mackinaw and Kokanee Chrome

A light breeze riffled the glassy surface as we pulled away from the dock. We watched the depth finder and Dana pointed the bow toward the eastern end of Oregon’s Odell Lake. It was a rare day in the Cascades, warm for this early in the morning. Today we would be fishing deep, down to 140 feet, hoping to connect with a big mackinaw.
