Not as many fish this year but they are bigger than last year. Most seem to be 10 to 14 iches with a few larger fish to 16-17 inches

Kokanee limit at Wallowa Lake has been raised to 20 fish per day with two day possession limit. According to Jeff Yenke, fish bio in Enterprise, the population has gone from 70,000 kokes in 2008 to over 900,000 this year. Not any size to the fish, but at least you can catch enough to make it...

nine to twelve inches of ice with some diehards jigging thru the ice for small fish. largest to date that I know of was 13 1/2 inches. majority are in the 7 to 10 inches and limits are a rarity rather than the norm.

This is not a scientific survey by any means, but in 2009 the kokanee fishing at Wallowa Lake netted me 87 fish over 16 inches and as I look back over my fishing logs the average size of fish that year was a shade over 18 inches with largest fish for the year at 23 1/2 inches and just over 5...

Ron, welcome to the kokanee of the month club. As I said when I first caught my fish, I didn't think it would be the record for very long. It turned out that my fish was the record for only five weeks. Enjoy the spotlight for as long as you can, but no matter what happens, remember the thrill...

The enjoyment of fishing is the fishing and not the catching. Every fisherman dreams of someday catching the big one. If I have given even one other fisherman the enjoyment of the anticipation that the next fish he hooks could be the new world record I am totally happy. The influx of...

Just heard from a pretty reliable source that another Wallowa Couty local just caught a record fish at Wallowa Lake. Some confusion as to whether it weighed 9.8 pounds or 9 pounds 8 ounces, but either way it would break the current world record fish from British Columbia that weighed 9 pounds 6...

I fish Wallowa Lake exclusively and I am the holder of the state record for the time being. If you will go back and read my previous posts I think you will find that I have shared just about everything there is to share about fishing for kokes in the lake. Your remark about receiving bad info...

Fished till 9am on saturday and picked up three that were 19 1/2, 20, and 21". By that time there was 4 inches of snow on the front seat of the boat and it was still coming down, so called it a day. Didn't fish today but will be back up there tomorrow morning.

While you guys went by in your larger boats, that was me in the 12 foot Trailorboat. Fishing was slow over the weekend, but I brought home a limit between 18-23 1/2 inches this morning after a thunderstorm last night. I also turned back four fish that were 15-18 inches and had three other...

Within seconds of hooking the fish it made the first of four aerial displays and I definitely knew I had something special hooked up. The fish put up a pretty decent fight, but I think the jumps took a lot of the fight out of the fish and it actually came to the net fairly easily after about...

No ice, no ice fishermen Wallowa Lake never froze this winter. It was last winter that the ice fishermen knocked them dead.

If you look to the end of Newbies thread you will see a message and some pictures of the fish I caught at Wallowa Lake yesterday. Today I took a friend with me and we hit the lake at 0530 and picked up a few fish in the 17-21 inch range. By 1100 he had three in the boat and I had four and the...

Fishing 18 -20 feet deep on north end. Hope these photos load.

Started at 6am this morning and caught 3 fish by 7am. Things then got pretty slow and didn't pick up number 4 until 1030 and finished with number 5 at 1230. The wind had finally calmed after almost two weeks of conditions that kept me off the lake. fish today were 19.5, 20.5, 22, 23.5, and a...

latest word Reports are that this fish, after being bled out, weighed in at 7.52 pounds. Supposedly will be article and possibly picture in this weeks local paper.

Just got a report from a pretty reliable source that a 7 3/4 pound koke was caught this weekend at Wallowa Lake. I do know that the big fish are again there this year. No ice fishing, but using a boat and anchoring and jigging seems to be working well. I have caught a 15,17,18,and 19" fish in...

I caught 83 kokes over 16 inches at Wallowa Lake last year. More than 40 of them were caught through the ice in late February through mid-March. After the ice went off and I was able to troll I caught most of the rest of my larger fish before the end of the first week in June. State record 7...

Jerry Logosz who used to own the market in Joseph, but now lives in Arizona, has been fishing Wallowa Lake this summer and on July 19 boated a new state record kokanee. The fish was 27.25 inches long, had a girth of 15.25 and was weighed in on a state-inspected scale at 7 pounds o.875 ounces...

It will probably be mid-August before the spawning run gets started. Fished the head of the lake this morning and only caught one 16 incher. Have had best luck at the foot of the lake on the west side and at Conley Bar which is at about highway mile post 3 on the east side. Fish are still...
