    Default Lucky Peak

    I think that I have wasted enough hours this year chasing the koks at Lucky Peak. Let the a-hole wake boats have the lake. Went to Peddit Lake last of June. F&G have not planted any Koks for 52 years. They say that the lake has brook, cutthroat, bass, rainbow, and Bull. In my option the only fish are Bull trout. Got snowed on the first two days. Scouted third day, all fish were below 60 ft. Fish the forth day without a strike. I was the only boat on the lake. Two to four paddle boarders at the shallow outlet end. Most were hikers. A beautiful little campground, only nine campsites. A very good trip, but likely not go back.

    Default 8/15-/16 report

    fished 4 hrs in the morning each day. caught 1 dink. Marked noticeably less fish than in July. saw a few across from Spring Shores, Birch creek, Gooseneck. nothing at the dam, saw the most fish at charcoal. fish were 40-60' deep in 80-100' of water on the north bank. I think i'm throwing in the towel for Kokes on LP this season. Had a pretty decent year I think with all things considered. See ya next year.

    Fished today from 8:00AM until 1:45PM. We took home 7 Kokanee size from 12 ~ !4". 1 Trout 13" the trout was bleeding so that we kept.
    It was windy in the morning and die down about noon. Water temp 66 deg.F. Fish very shallow. We caught first few fish right on top. After I release the line about 35" and start to clip on the DR releaser then it hit. Caught 2 more right on top then later we fish from 3' to 15' with DR, Kokabow slinger + pink squid + fire corn. Long line 1.1/4 Oz Ford fender + kokabow kingfisher spiner + white corn+ herring scent. 80' line out. Trolling speed 1.5 MPH.

    Was on the water at 8:30 until about 2:15. I only managed to catch 2 pike minnows . Beautiful day on the water, but the wake boarders were starting to churn things up by afternoon. I did get to talk to Fish4kokes for a few minutes.....he and his wife did better than me. Oh well.....next time. By the way, the water lever is starting to drop. Lots of the camping site docks sitting high and dry. Going to be slim pickings for boat campers on Labor Day weekend.

    Default Yesterday storm was for blaming :-)

    We did better on last Monday. Today was much slower and we took home 3- 14" Kokanee. All the fish I caught were at 15' deep with DR. Wife's fishing pole set at vary-depth from 22' down to 33', all the fish she caught that got loose when it close to the boat. Long line pole had 1 hit but didn't hook.
    The water dropped 11' so far, they drain the reservoir about 1'/day.
    Tight lines! Good luck to you all!
