NEXT GENERATION & LOCAL CELBRITIES Jon & Tony Hoscsteler of Plains, MT with supper! I’ll bring the cole slaw! Darby’s fish! Tim Patton of Plains, MT with a nice stringer! I’ll bring the tarter sauce! Cade & Seth Stinnett of Plains, MT making it happen! I’ll bring the hushpuppies! Pictured above: Shon Johnson manager of S & S Sports in Thompson Falls, MT with a nice Clark Fork River Bass and Pike. I got Shon to fess up with his favorite lure, it’s a KVD square bill. However, I couldn’t get him to fess up to his favorite Mule Deer spot. Go into the show room to see what Shon calls a big Mule Deer! Pictured left submitted by Dad (John Roark): Thomas Roark Kokanee fishing. Thomas has won several Kokanee tournaments over the last three years and was wanting something bigger than a 18" inch Kokanee. 18" inch Kokanee are very respectful in the fishing world! So Thomas and I decided to take a road tip in pursuit of big Kokanee, loaded up are gear and off we went. Drove all night across three states and finally got to the fishing grounds, boat loaded up, poles tied up and on the water. After twenty minutes or so he had put his first four pound Kokanee in the boat, a couple minutes later he's got another one. Nothing better than spending quality time with your son on the water. Take your kids fishing! 23
