I went there last summer and it was a great spot for kokanee and bass. Absolutely a gorgeous view from the camp grounds

[@jasonhalverson9931]

How deep were you fishing and water depth?

[@vitpav777]

The rods that you’re not using a down rigger. How do you get deep with them?

[@boattothebelly]

Always wanted to go but when I’m in that area I’m definitely focused on chinook and sockeye. Guess I can’t ignore it any longer.

[@austinkohler1596]

I stayed at the campground while targeting sockeye and Chinook last summer. We would go out and catch kokanee in the evening until dark. A little ego boost on the days when the salmon skunked us haha

@@austinkohler1596 I want to that exact thing! So hard to find a spot there I heard.

[@austinkohler1596]

@@boattothebelly haha it felt like we were playing battle boats instead of fishing. The camping was not too hard. I went during the week so it was vary open

Get yourself and extendable net Mike. Those Ego nets are pretty good, my dad has one that extends out to about 14ft.

Do you know if they ever ended up bleaching that lake because of the over population of the bass they were never ment to be in that lake
