Kokanee Fishing - Lake Stevens

The kokanee fishing at Lake Stevens has continued to produce well for those fishing this popular fishery. The fishing has been just a little temperamental on select days when we get a radical change in weather and the fish seem to go off the bite. The fish are growing rapidly and there have been a few fish already pushing the 16 1/2 inch mark. Most of the guys have been finding them from the surface down to around 25 feet with the 15 foot zone being fairly consistent. Fishermen are getting them on a variety of gear with Silver Horde Gold Star Kokanee doders with a blade and bead (Wedding Ring Spinner)fished behind with shoe peg corn or maggot tipped hooks being one of the most popular setups. The "New" Silver Horde Gold Star LP Shrimp(Squid) have been doing quite well when fished 14 -16 inches behind a dodger.

This fishery is coming into full swing and should continue into late June. As the water warms the fish will drop deeper into the water column and will be caught in the 50 -60 foot zones into the summer.

Don't forget the Lake Steven's Kokanee derby coming up on Saturday May 22nd. There are lots of outstanding cash prizes as well as many tackle prizes. We have been really starting to sell the tickets in the past few days, seems that everyone is really enthused! Should be "Lots" of Fun!

Tickets are $20.00 for those 15 or older, and for anglers 14 and under the tickets are "Free"!
