Periodically the Lake Roosevelt Kokanee fishery cycles up to support very large Kokanee. We are experiencing one of the phases now. They seem to come and go every 3 or 4 years and then vanish again. Come get them while you can.

Awesome fish and great report. Which "peddle" boat are you using in that video? Is that your Oldtown PDL?

"A venturesome minority will always be eager to get off on their own,
and no obstacle should be placed in their path;
let them take risk, for God sake, let them get lost, sun burnt, stranded, drowned,
eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches -
that is the right and privilege of any free American."

Great video. Those are huge kokes!

You mentioned a two-fish limit. Does that apply to just the wild kokanee, or does it include the hatchery kokes as well? It's really surprising to hear about such a conservative daily bag limit for kokanee.

Yes 2 wild fish only. Hatchery fish the regular limit applies. I believe they are conservative simply because of the uncertainty about where these wild Kokanee originate.
