Lake Cavanaugh Kokanee & Cutthroat

We have been getting some fair reports on the kokanee fishing out of Lake Cavanaugh. Though the limit is just 5 fish, the folks that we have spoke with have had no problem in getting their fish fairly promptly! The fish have been smaller than those at Stevens with most in the 11 - 13 inch range, but are well feed and in great shape. There have been some good cutthroat trout fishing also with fish up to 17 inches being landed. These are fairly typical cutthroat being a little on the slim side, having that long and snaky look. There are a few really large cutts to be had in this lake for those that are willing to put in the time. In the old days 60's & 70's there was a number of fisherman that trolled 4" Silver Horde or Lucky Louie salmon plugs as well as larger salmon spoons and were rewarded for their efforts with fish from 3 - 10 pounds.
