    I hate to bud into the riffe lake conversation but according to the state there landlocked coho only in riffe lake. Sorry my two cents also.

    Northwest wild country radio show did a segment on riffe to clear up any confusion that these fish are landlocked coho. Anyways lets catch em they taste great!

    I started fishing that lake the day it first opened (when the dam was new). Man am I getting old. There are NO Kokes you can fish as hard as you like.

    How about a pic of one. Don't forget something to prove where it came from.

    You know what, I also saw that one post. I could post a number of others that do NOT include kokes as what is in Riffe lake. And as stated above that would include WDFW info.

    I was in fact pretty sure that is what you were using as proof.

    I know full well what a koke looks like. I now live 1 block from the main launch on American lake and fish it all the time during the week when I get home from work. I have a freezer full on American lake kokes.

    THERE ARE NO LANDLOCKED SOCKEYE IN RIFE LAKE

    Done with this.

    I'm new to the forum, been fishing Riffe for many years. This time of year the water is usually extremely low. We did really good last year, limited with fair sized fish each time. Usually start after fishing falls off at Merwin.

    Welcome! to the site!

    Thanks for the information. When do you start fishing the lake on a regular basis?

    I usually start checking lake levels in April and as soon as the ramp at the dam is usable, I start fishing. Then at least once per week until they lower the water.
    I have down riggers but usually find they are not necessary, catch fish in the first 10-15 feet.

    As for Alder Lake, I'm not an expert on the lake but Tacoma Power supposedly stocks it pretty heavy with Koks. I've done OK there but haven't caught anything of significant size.
