Kokanee Fishing

Have started to get a few Kokanee reports coming in from a few of the Western Washington Kokanee lakes this past week. With the water warming to around 50 - 52 degrees the Kokanee are starting to get motivated into feeding. We have had a few reports coming in from Lake Stevens as well as American Lake. The fish that we have heard of out of Stevens have been in the 11 - 13 inch range while those out of American have been an impressive 16 inch average. Very nice fish anytime! With the warmer spring weather this fishery should only improve with this next month generally being one of the most productive on these landlocked sockeye. The fish have been in the upper 15 -17 foot range.

Stop by and we can fill you in on the tackle and techniques.

Don't forget the Lake Stevens 1st Annual Kokanee Derby on Saturday May 22nd! Tickets are $20.00 and youngsters 14 and under are free! Will be a "Great" event!
