Though overall, the kokanee fishery at Lake Stevens has slowed for the vast majority of anglers fishing this popular lake there still are some really nice catches being landed. With the warming water and the increase in water skiers and PFC use the successful fishermen have been finding better results by fishing deeper. Some of the more productive anglers have been pushing the 50 foot zone. As far as the tackle goes it has been much the same as it was earlier.
We have been seeing good kokanee catches coming out of a number of other local waters most notably Lake Cavanaugh and Lake Samish.
If you have a spare morning on this holiday weekend you just might want to go chase a few kokanee for something to do.
