Went out for kokanee......

Post by Matt » Thu Apr 15, 2010 6:16 pm

.....Came home with this! Went 6lb 13 oz on the scale. Some of you may be able to ID the pond from the pic :) Managed a few Kokes and about 20 other smaller trout between my buddy and I, report to come!

Wow. What a fish!
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Water temp is up to 49*. The kokanee should turn on any day now. Pulled a few really little ones to the boat but nothing worthy of the smoker.

This is Lake Stevens in Snoho county. Went back out today, got 3 smaller trouts and 8 kokanee for the box. Kokanee are starting to hit great. Water temp is now up to 56* in places.

Run the same rigs you'd usually run for trout. Downriggers help but are not necessary.
