4/4/16 Lake Stevens

Went to Lake Stevens this afternoon to try my luck at some Kokanee. Fish were jumping all over, so I was excited! Trolled by sunset park with a rainbow colored dodger with a pink and silver wedding ring tipped  with shoe peg corn for about 45 minutes without a bite. Then I changed out the corn for Berkeley Gulp. 45 more minutes, and still not a bite. Changed again to a pink splatter dodger with a red wedding ring and pink dyed corn, and bam! Only managed the one fish, but it's my first Kokanee from a kayak so mission accomplished.

Sweet! One is infinitely better than none. Good job changing up until you found something they'd hit.

Good for you.  I got skunked there on Saturday 4-2.  Fished from sunrise to 8:45am with no hits.  Changed up gear 3 times.  Lots of jumpers early.  I think I only saw one PB with their net out.  Those little Kokanee can be picky.  It's still early in the season though. 

Congrats!

Kokanee are such delicious fish, even bringing home one for dinner is a treat.

Looking at the first picture I was thinking "WOW that's a big one!!" Then I saw the second one! Lol. Nevertheless one kokanee is better than no Kokanee, congratulations on that!
