Lake Stevens Kokanee Fishing

The fishing for kokanee at Lake Stevens has been a little on the temperamental side recently. If you do want to catch fish and just not go for an outing you want to make sure that you are on the lake and fishing at first light as the fishing has for the most part been over by 7:30 a.m.. From most of the guys that have been getting fish regularly the 10 -15 foot depth range has been the productive zone. Everyone has been mentioning that their are lots of fish showing in the 30 - 35 foot zone, but no matter what they do they cannot get them to bite. Perhaps they will go on the bite a little latter in the summer. The lake has quite an algae bloom on at the present and the clarity of the water has diminished. The fish are fating up quite nicely and are getting larger every day. A few of the fish are pushing the 16 inch mark.
