This is information posted recently. It could be a tad early for kokanee but its worth the drive to get some water time and get the cobwebs knocked off even with the cutty's. I'm gearing up to hit it also very very soon.
"(Apr 30)The lake is almost ice free! Docks will be going in at the marina over the next three weeks, with rental boats available as of this weekend. Roads are clear to the Renegade side of the reservoir. Be aware of floating ice sheets. The fish are hungry and actively feeding. The fishing has been extremely good. Try dark-colored leeches, marabou jigs, jerkbaits and spinners and tip them with chub meat or PowerBait. Check with Strawberry Bay Marina at 435-548-2261 for the most recent updates. The reservoir is currently 73 percent full."
