Palmer Lake - Kokanee

If you want to take a few days and go to a really picturesque place to fish then Palmer Lake in the north central portion of the state just might be the place you want to go. This is a lake that is off the beaten path that has some really outstanding kokanee fishing going on at the present time. The fish have been averaging in the 15 - 16 inch range and are really plump! One of the customers stopped by and showed me some pictures from this past weekend of the fish he caught and I must say I was impressed. Besides the kokanee there is some good rainbow fishing with fish caught up to ten pounds every year. The smallmouth bass fishing is also quite good and many bass anglers travel a good distance just to fish them. Throw in some largemouth, perch, crappie and burbot (freshwater ling) and you round out the list.

Though its is quite a drive, I am sure you will enjoy not only the fishing but the great scenery.
