I went out night fishing for 1st time this year. Started 9:15 pm caught 1 at 35 ft off North Shore at 9:45 pm. Not another bite until 11:15 pm. Then 9 more to make my limit by 11:50 pm. All 9" and up. All good heavy fish. This should be a better year than last year when they were smaller fish.

Been out 6 times limited each night. Start time about 9:30 pm. Takes from 1/2 hr to 1 1/2 hr to get 10. Friend went with me last night we got 20 in two hours.

Gulp maggots I started using gulp alive maggots last year. They work great. They keep for a long time. They don't get soft in water but dont hold onto hook like a real maggots so you re bait much more.

Green Light No one responded so i got a green led light and tried it this summer. I put it down about 25ft in 35ft of water. The plankton are attracted to the light to the point it looks like a dark cloud. The kokanee come in and feed and i fish a glow hook with corn + maggot maybe 6ft from the...

Kokanee Salmon Patties Ive made them now three times. The are really good. Shared with a neighbor and they loved them, and wanted a couple jars of fish so they could make there own patties.

? I noticed a type of duck that always shows up this time of year a feeds close to shore. I wonder if they might be eating the kokanee eggs. Is that possible?

Kokanee have been spawning the last couple weeks along the northsore of Loon Lake. The eagles are having a feast.

People use different types of lights to attract fish. They sell what looks like an old fashion auto headlamp in a styrofoam ring. Thats the cheapest. Some build there own lights using high intensity LED light bars. Im not sure if the light attracts the fish directly or if the light attracts the...

I should mention if your in a kayak at night, if you dont have an anchor light of some kind someone in a motor boat could not see you and run over you. So be aware. Sometimes I'm out till midnight waiting for a bite. It's really hard to see while going home. Also I use a 5' ultra light pole and...

I haven't tried a drop shot rig but it might work. What I do is use a 1/4 or 3/8 oz sinker just above the swivel. Then 12" leader to a #6 or #8 glow hook cerise or white. Some use small red Ratfinkee Jig. Put lead on the bottom in 30' of water. Then come up 1 and 1/2 turns. Use maggot and shoe...

Dave Michaels Retired Telephone Company fishing Loon Lake, Wa

Things have picked up at Loon Lake. I was able to get 10 kokanee two nights in a row. I moved into a bit shallower water about 28 feet. Used red glow hooks shoepeg corn and a maggot. Bait was 1.5 turns off the bottom. Bite was from 9:30pm til 10:30pm.

Can someone tell me if using a green submersible led light does any good while night fishing kokanee. I saw a boat on Loon Lake, Wa using one.

Better Went out from 9pm to 12. Got ten just off bottom with glow hook corn and maggot. West end of lake.

Fishing has been very slow. Fished three times, for two hours each time. Averaged about 3 bites an hour. Lucky to get 1 or 2 fish. Night fishing is zip. Went out once for two hours 8:30 to 10:30 and not one nibble.
