Let things thaw before heading out so got started about 10 am Fishing some areas between Keller and Coulee.
Continued the kokanee pursuit but couldn't locate any; in hindsite, I would probably increase my odds by fishing more toward the middle of the river but I just don't have the patience to cover all that water. Did have another productive day of trout fishing however.
-Kept 1 limit of plants and released several more limits worth. Avg. fish 18-19"
-Released a number of quality native fish which I always like to see... All of which were healthy 20" fish
-Largest trout of the day went 23"
-Only saw 6 fish carcases (all trout) at the docks despite there being about 12 boats out which is not encouraging for kokanee action
-Best colors: Chartreuse and had action on hot pink as well
-Depths: 10 to 30 feet

Good day!! My brother-in-law and I will be there at the end of the month. Crossing fingers the weather is as good as I’ve heard it has been lately. We want some kokes as well but I’ll take any fish hitting our gear. Just absolutely love the lake this time of year.

I too hope the weather holds up for you Yak. So far, despite the cold snap a couple weeks ago, the weather patterns have been favorable for fishing and I would suspect this will continue as we near February. Good luck and have fun!

We’ve tried to get out there, but the freezing fog has made it difficult to drive there.

Great shape. It's one of my favorite launches for winter fishing. I've not had sliding issues there like I have at other launches, ie. Fort Spokane. But I am also very tuned in to temperatures and always walk the ramps before backing down.
