Rodney's REEL Outdoors

It’s that time of the year again! The Annual Kelowna Classic Tournament is back! Put it in your calendar for Saturday October 24th.

Some good kokanee hitting the deck! The kids were on em and even let dad reel in 1 or 2.

Couple of PBs on board. The kids are on em!

I am a firm believer in using descending devices in the summer time. These big fish are hanging out deep and it’s our job as anglers to treat them as good as possible when releasing them. 120ft deep is the equivalent of 67psi or 4.6 atmospheres of pressure. Barotrauma is reel even in fresh water. Not to mention the lack of oxygen in warmer water. 76°f surface temps hold approximately 27% less oxygen than 50° water. That’s a lot when it comes down to rainbows. Bottom line is get them back down to the depths you caught it at as soon as possible. I use a SeaQualizer 50-100-150 model and it never fails. Pick one up at your local tackle store or grab one off amazon. They work great!

Kiddos have been putting some nice fish on the deck recently!

Saskatchewan representing! Definitely had to work to find them today but can’t complain with the results.

From large to small, we catch em all! Great day on the water with some Alberta boys.

When you stop for a bathroom break and the nope rope makes an appearance.

Great day on the water with some fantastic kids!

Photo dump! Some happy people with smiles all around.
