Hit the Kettle the other day. Plenty of trout on the surface but after 4 hours of running over the entire Lake, not a Koke found! Looks like a run out to Summit or Alder.

Hit the Kettle. Getting kinda late but bagged a limit of bucks. Scales are absorbing fast and it looks like the end for these critters. Sexually mature. Final average fork length = 11.5"

Better get on it soon. It wasn't quite "Lights Out" fishing but I took some nice ones averaging 8oz each. Three males and two females which were a weeks away from "spawning".

Hey STLHDR, hit it today for a couple hours of effort at O'Stupid thirty with the grandson. Just fished one rod and one rigger to avoid the "cluster". Lost three but put four in the boat. They're...

A colleague of mine did the video. They were doing DNA analysis to discern beach verses stream spawning populations of sockeye. Yes, it is closed to "sockeye" retention and protection by having a...

Yep! Sutherland is a great Lake for Kokes. Here's another "under the radar spot" out on the West end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emz6DhxqWv0

Right on STLHDR! Hope ya got some! Been spacing my catch to every 10 days. Taking scale/heads for WDFW work. They've been thermo-marking the otoliths on selected plants to specific lakes. Good...

Fished a local Lake today. Hit it at O'Dark thirty w/o a soul around. The fish were not in their normal spots but once located I made quick work of it:

I have a question for all you folks that use shoe peg corn, specifically the Jolly Green Giant brand: Is it just me or is this company just putting in smaller conventional white corn kernels in...

Well I wish I had some good news 'bout the koke fishing today. Fished for four hours throughout the sinks and at all depths where the scope was picking up fish.................no luck. Threw...

Mossback here! Still onboard. Da ole kokanee boat and rods have been put on the ways 'till April. Too busy duck hunting, crabbing and hibernating. :>)

Gary, Curt, et. al.

I just want to express to you all a thank you in recognition of a man who luved fishing, Ed. I knew Ed since he rep'd the Washington Charter Boat Assoc'd. I remember sampling...

It's w/great respect that I bid a great colleague and the Kokanee King ado.

kokhead,

The largest I have caught is a 20" outta Summit. I caught a 18" outta Ward this year. Having fished Kokes for years, we don't have monster fish on the Wet Side. American can and has...

Ditto Smokin Kokes on the two rod issue. In my old age, fishing two rods is BS! I have a H-Bird Nuclear Depth Sounder and a downrigger that can target a 16" fish !

The limit here in WA is 5...

Full_Monte,

I drive trailer's/boats on a weekly basis. Radial verses bias thread tires have their advantages/disadvantages. It's really predicated on the load rating your applying. I'm removing...

dbcfr,

Pardner, I have used 'em all over the years from a Grizzly blank #4 fly-rod blank that I tyed up in the 60's to a Lamiglass "Summer Run" 8'6" (Light X86LC). I have a Shimano/Calcutta 50 on...

Thanks guys for the leads.

Great story Monte!...........All along as I'm reading I was dreading the outcome.............lost at the boat!..........But a great ending! Back in the 60's I used to fish Bridgeport Reservoirs and...

Passed through Woodland today and had to stop at the Lamiglas factory for a look/see. You know the drill :rolleyes: What can I find as the ultimate 7' graphite Kokanee rod? Well, the sales rep was...

Kokonuts,

Good luck at Merwin, I've been kinda debating to take the boat up to Alder for a go. Want to get on and off the lake early am and prior to the 4th crowd fencing. That is the wake...
