Kokanee fishing remains good for 15 to 17 1/2 inch fish. We are catching 1 to 3 Kokanee in the 2 lb. class on every outing. However, the big Koks are not easy to find. They're very scattered , and are holding on structure for only short periods of time. We found working rocky shore lines near deep drop offs has been productive. The spillway to south of the damn, Mormon Creek, and South island are holding Kokanee 55 to 70 feet deep. Uncle Larry's Copper Pop, R&K pink Hoochies, and Glitter Bugs behind Vance's nickel and green or rainbow Trout colored Dodgers. I recommend for your corn scent Pro Cures UV carp spit, Garlic Plus, freshwater shrimp, or hot pink anis. We're catching numerous 5 to 8 inch next years Kokanee, try to release the small Salmon as carefully as you can.

Thank You,
Bruce Hamby
