Lake Stevens Kokanee

The kokanee fishing at Lake Stevens is still holding up quite well. If you are going to fish the lake you want to make sure that you are there at first light, as it has been an early bite and for the most part is over by 7:00 a.m. . Yes, there are some fish to be caught latter in the morning and then again in the evening but the early a.m. bite has been the most productive time of the day. The fish are dropping down deeper into the water column as the water warms and there is greater light penetration. Some of the guys have been getting them as deep as 50 feet. Early in the morning the 15 - 20 foot zone has been good. Fish are getting a little chunkier every week, putting on more weight as they grow larger. Most fish are in the 13 - 15 inch range with a few pushing the 16 inch mark.
