Got to the lake around 5am. Started just out from the launch and headed north. Fishing with my Moms boyfriend who hasnt been in a very long time and had never fished for kokanee. From reading previous reports we stared at 35-40 ft in 60/70ft of water. We ran pink,purple,red and chartreuse home tied fly type setups with different colored dodger/flashers. We watch some guys pass us in a livingston and they pulled a net and got a fish. Shortly after it was fish on. The color seemed to be pink for me and mikes kokanee juice on corn White shoe peg corn with a dick nite green and pink and silver wonderbread dodger/flashers. We lost 5 to 8 and ended up with 8 total at the end of the day. We tried a pass through the north small lake side with no luck. Also tried different stick baits for cuts with no luck. These guys were very feisty and shot out of the water on several accounts making it hard to keep them on. What a site to see than just splashing around. Learning my new FF and chased some meter marks and go hook ups doing it. I had great company and okay weather. We ended the day about noon and went down 45-55ft on riggers in 60-70ft of water. Tight lines

Hey! me and my buddy were the guys in the livingston! the bite was pretty good this day, we landed 10 (our limit) and lost one. We run treble hooks so we dont lose fish, but seems as if you would have easily limited if you landed a few more, good job anyhow, see u on the water

Great report, I've been wanting to try this lake, how is the launch ? I have a sled, is that launch right by the free way ?

Fishenfreak, you guys looked like you were doing good. I was scaning around and playing with my new ff and think if I stayed in the bigger south side we would have taken home limits. @ Jimbo, The launch is on the freeway side I highly recamend launching just too the left of the concrete launch its got a heck of a drop with rebar sticking out that they still havent fixed. The gravel side is solid but you will might want a 4x4 when when pulling out. Tight lines.

Thnx, I've been told of that mess. Who can fix it ? State or county ? Yep I got a big old F250. Only fished for Kokes a few times on Cavanaugh, did good there.

I dont know who can fix it its been that way for a few years now. I know they have sign up for the discovery pass but just below in small writing it does say your wdfw parking pass is accepted. Just an fyi
