Riffe Lake Landlocked Coho Salmon & Triploid Trout Kayak Fishing

This ended up being a pretty awesome fishing adventure on Riffe Lake, Washington. We targeted landlocked coho salmon and triploid rainbow trout fishing from our kayaks. It was crazy windy when we first got there but it died down and gave us a few hours of lovely fishing before the wind picked up again in the afternoon. I trolled with a 1 oz weight on 1 rod and a 4 oz weight on the other. Both had a dodger and a hoochie tipped with shoepeg corn.
The boat launch was closed due to the extremely low water level in the reservoir so no motor boats were out on the lake. It was just us kayak anglers. Had to walk the kayaks all the way down/up that crazy long, steep ramp (well, Ty walked mine up 🤣🤣🤣). Ran into a group of guys with Heroes on the Water. It's a great organization with chapters across several states that organizes and facilitates kayak fishing adventures for military veterans, active duty military, first responders, and their families. Here's the link for the NW chapter if you're interested: heroesonthewat...
