New to Kokanee fishing and new to the site. Any help on late season Kokanee fishing oh this lake would be great. I am taking the wife and would love to get her an opportunity to catch her first kokanee, also I would love to catch and release some dollies. I know I am new to this site but wa lakes is just getting old and isn't that much help.

Welcome aboard jakelunde! I haven't read any reports on Baker or Shannon on here yet...be sure and give a report if you head up that way. Have you fished Lake Stevens at all? I've read there's some nice size ones in there...16-18".

I have not fished there, but late season in the past I've had luck with maggots for bait, and a red fly or pink spoon behind a #10 Dave Davis lake troll.

With the water temps cooling down be sure to watch your speed.

Gene, I was at the launch on Sunday when you where pulling out (blue Duroboat). Good to see someone from this site out there! I grew up fishing Baker and have always done well with maggots right off the Kulshan launch.

As I'm new to kokanee fishing, I have not fished baker or shannon yet. Most people chum for koks on shannon at the dam.
