Kokanee Fishing - Lake Stevens

With so much to do outside with salmon, steelheading and crabbing going on there has been little effort on the kokanee scene at Lake Stevens. The fishing has been very good for the few which have been giving the lake a try. I spoke with one of the regular guys this week that had fished on Wednesday and he and his partner managed to land 19 plump kokanee for their efforts. They found the fish at 60 feet and caught them fishing a small #14 Spin N Glo in Flour. Red with silver mylar wings fished in front of a pair of hooks baited with gulp maggots and white corn fished behind a Silver Horde Mini Dodger. The fish were in the 13 - 14 inch range and very plump. The fish are starting to show a little maturity.
