So stinkin cool!!! Thank you for sharing.

Nicely done! I have never been there, but it might be worth the drive some time this summer.

[@RUMXHAM]

Awesome. Looks like a blast

I have been fishing for kokanee for years now in Idaho. I found that the ones at strawberry tasted a bit more "fishy" although still very good (and much bigger). I noticed that you said you would bleed these kokanee. Do you think that helps? It might be interesting to do a video comparing bleeding to no bleeding. I will be bleeding them to see if that makes a difference. Great video. Thanks!

I definitely noticed a difference with white meat fish. I'm sure it helps with the salmon and trout as well. Plus you're putting them out of commission a little quicker that way

One of my favorite lakes for kokanee nice fish

I went there today and killed it fun catching those Kokanee.

[@liprippinoutdoors6445]

And they taste fantastic!

What part of strawberry is?

[@PhillipsOutdoors]

Hows the road to that lake? I know witch lake it is, just would like to know the road conditions.

[@liprippinoutdoors6445]

The few times I have made it just fine with my four wheel drive. They do a pretty good job at plowing it, but it can get a little sketchy if you only have two wheel drive

How is access to the lake? Do you have to snowmobile in or is there a place to park and walk in?

[@liprippinoutdoors6445]

That is very Hit or Miss depending on the snow. It's definitely not an easy chore without a snowmobile

I just spent like 20 minutes zoomed in on Google Earth looking at the whole shoreline and could not find those green power towers or whatever they were. What part of the lake is this? I saw some hints of a lightning bolt and the word "shocking" in the comments but I don't know the lake well enough to know what those mean.

[@taitsmith215]

What lake was that?

[@liprippinoutdoors6445]

Hint "⚡"

[@taitsmith215]

Thanks for the hint

[@kemptonschmitz5956]

Where is this?

[@kemptonschmitz5956]

I have heard the views could be "shocking" haha. Am I close?

[@liprippinoutdoors6445]

Yes

[@OldtimerWalker]

Bet that lake has water from a mine being pumped in to it. Thanks for taking us along.

[@FishfearmeStudios]

Nice kokanee but that's a long drive

[@liprippinoutdoors6445]

Yeah, I definitely think I will focus on strawberry more. There are bigger ones in strawberry too!
