We fished Bridge Lake this past summer for the first time. I really enjoyed exploring this lake and look forward to exploring it more in the future. Here's the second video we made from our trip.

Thanks. Bridge Lake kokanee are definitely fun and challenging to catch (at least with changing weather it was....)

Come to think of it, I've never heard of a rainbow being caught in Bridge Lake. I agree that it's mainly a kokanee fishery. I've heard rumours of some nice lakers as well.

How are they smoked?

How are they smoked?

Since kokanee are a land locked sockeye, I would venture out to say (in my opinion) that they are the best smoked freshwater fish. Also, if you smoke the smaller kokanee, 10-14 inches, you will not have to worry about the pin bones as they are not noticeable after the kokanee has been smoked.
