Popped my Kokanee Cherry today
Im new to fishing Kokanee .
Today was my 2nd attempt and managed to boat 2 Kok's right at 17" .
Both came on a Pink Hoochie at 25' on the downriggers .
Trolling between .8 and 1.5 mph .
Caught both near Charcoal Creek .
Weather was a bit sporty , with rain and wind gust that made it hard to keep the boat at trolling speeds .

that looks like a huge brown. I have caught a few browns and even a few bulls out of Anderson trolling. I release the browns, and the bulls of course, as well
For sure. I have met a couple in person. I will have a blue chevy with a shell pulling my red tracker. And my wifes Honda mini van pulling the Pop up camper.
I've never ever heard of a Brown caught in Anderson and I've been fishing it for 35 years............

steve, that's pretty much what I was running last weekend. I did slow down a little and shorten up to 45 to 50 foot. Fish were still at 15 to 25 ft for the most part.
Fished today from noon until 5:00PM. It was slow for us. We cover from Goose Neck Bay to Pipe Line Creek. 6 hits, caught 3 Kok and lost 3. Longline 85' line out no weight Ford Fender + Pink Kokabow. DR from 5' to 15 Green dodger + UV light green super squids.
There were few fishing boats on the lake but there wasn't much action.

My 2nd trip to Dworshak
Went last weekend. Put in at Freeman Creek and went across to Canyon. I could see a couple of boats plenty busy reeling in fish compared to the couple we caught. I noticed larger blades for the bells they were using. I had some large blades in my spinner kit so I made up a 4 blade willow leaf with 2.5" blades. That was the trick, 20' down and the bigger blades we started catching fish. I have my 5 year old granddaughter this weekend so I think we will be up there again.

I have never ever herd of anyone calling a chinook a king salmon. and yes, I have caught many chinook out of Anderson. Here is a couple from last year

caught this brown out of Anderson in 2010. I have caught 3-4. All from the bank before I got a boat.
it seems the fish are going deeper. Try around 20-30 next time
The fish that I caught were from 5' to 15' range. We fish with 3 poles, wife had same set up and she fish deeper from 20 - 45, she didn't have any hit. We might catch few more then the rain came and we quit.
I thought you already leave for Anderson fishing trip. Good luck.
So Chinook salmon & king salmon are the exact same fish just two different terms. Ocean run Chinook and landlock Chinook are king salmon.
Also those are babies your harvesting there. Need to throw them back so they can get to 15 plus lbs like the ones I've been catching. Keep all the dang kokes you want. The Chinook fishery is so new in that lake its questionable whether or not they will reproduce. Last year 0 Chinook made it back to the weir.
