    Default Lake PDO Kokanee

    I read thursday night that the Kokanee fishing is/might open up this year with a six fish limit.

    True! In 1997-8 they were only able to collect about 500,000 eggs at Granite Creek in December. This past Dec. they collected over 12 million eggs. Now if we can just keep killing the lake trout, maybe the great Kamploops trout fishing of old might return. Let's hope. Mike

    Caught my limit of 6 in about 40 minutes out by the "boat basin" launch on the north end, running the downrigger to about 50 feet to the first fish showing up on the sonar. Bite was hot, I was running maggots (spikes) on green wedding rings behind custom "dawnie" (fenders). All fish caught in that band were around 10", some smaller fish were caught but the average were pretty high. Guys on the radio were not having troubles with catching limits either. We were sustenance fishing and the fish were great in the oven that night. Kokanee population looks great and the 6 fish limit should prevent over harvest from some of the more greedy of us.
