Kawkawa

Anyone planning on getting out for some kokanee this weekend? I'll be out there at kawkawa lake. Good luck to everyone.

Giver shit! Let us know how it goes, a friend of mine should be up there as well

Was thinking of giving it a go. I've gone in March the last two years but didn't get kokanee. Float fishing krill for the coho was a blast though. Think I was fishing too deep for this early the last two years but I'm pretty new to kokanee.

[tim.l]

I'm fairly new to kokanee fishing also. Will definately give you the run done if we catch anything.

Did the opening day change on Kawkawa? I thought it was at the end of March.

[tim.l]

As long as I've known it's always been dec 1 to Feb 28 closed. So leap years you can start fishing on the 29th.

That's right - End of Feb not end of March. I have now been corrected and re-calibrated. Time to fish. :lol:

[ekul246]

So how did it go?

[tim.l]

It didn't go. Life got in the way and work around the house took precedent. Am going for sure this weekend will keep you in the loop.

Happens to me ALL THE TIME! Not complaining.....but still.....can be frustrating

Waiting for an update with bated breath..... Thinking of heading out that way tomorrow

We used to go out at the beginning of March every year (if the ice was off or just about off) and always got our limits of kokanee. March is the best time to go if you want to avoid the madness of water skiers and joy riders who quickly begin to show up as soon as the weather improves, which is usually at the beginning to mid April. The fish are a little smaller at the beginning of the year but I find they taste better because the water is so much cooler than say May or June. Good luck

Well I finally made it out there on Saturday. Weather acted up and wasn't a very nice day. We fished for about 5 hours and couldn't get anything biting. Trolling jigging drifting. I couldn't figure it out.

[ekul246]

Were the coho rising? First time out there was a miserable weather day. But saw the coho rising so fished krill under a float and I've honestly never had so much fun lol. Even in the wind and rain. I've only been there 4 times. Two March's in a row, once in April and once last October. No kokanee. I think I'm missing something on that lake too. Could be my timing

[tim.l]

Not even much for coho rising on the lake. I didn't try any float fishing. Well I'm in abby so I think I'll try it some more and figure it out. Gotta put in the time

[ekul246]

Anyone been out there recently?

When I was a kid we would fish with a small shrimp with a sinker. It seemed the fish did laps of the lake because every 20 minutes everyone in the boat would get a fish on. After 2-3 hours we all had our limits.
