2017 Lucky Peak Reservoir Kokanee Fishing Report

Help Support Kokanee Fishing Forums:

I have only caught a few this year but something that I noticed which I thought was unusual is that when I cleaned them they had nothing in their stomach. They still had some fat but that was it. Has anyone else noticed this? Usually their bellies are completely full this time of year. I wonder if the amount of water moving through the reservoir is flushing their food source downstream.

I hadn't given it much thought but now that you posted it all of the fish I have fileted in past few weeks haven't had the usual full belly that I'm used to seeing.

see ya out there. We are in the 26 foot blue jet boat, will be out from sun up to sun down, or till we get 3 limits. The wife usually wants to go top fairwell bend for mothers day, but she wants some smoked kokes as we are out from last year. Don't see me complaining :)
 
How was fishing yesterday with quickly rising water? Just curious if it impacted the fishing at all or not?
 
Sunday the wind blew all the driftwood into the left side of the portable boat ramp making it useless, Rangers tried to clear it but there was too much wood blown in.
 
My Gut Was Right About Sunday

Sunday the wind blew all the driftwood into the left side of the portable boat ramp making it useless, Rangers tried to clear it but there was too much wood blown in.

I will wait for higher water and better weather for this
Coming weekend.

Thanks for the info.
 
Where are the Kok? :)

Fished today from noon til 4:30PM, caught 3 trout on the long line pole and released them all, no kok. We troll by the dam couple times then go straight to Gooseneck Bay. There was 1 boat there and fishermen caught only 2 trout.
Talked to couple at the boat dock when we load our boat, they caught 10 Kok by the dam area. DR 30' deep.
We did good on Kok last Wednesday but not today. The level raise so quick, more than a foot/day and the water is murky. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/id/nwis/uv?site_no=13201500

Fished LP on Monday from 9 to noon near the dam. Caught 2 kokes, 14-15". Both on pink hoochies and dodgers. One at 10' deep, the other while letting out the pole. Beautiful morning when we started, but then the wind came up and it cooled off (and the bite stopped for us). Lots of debris in the water. Only one side of the dam launch ramp open due to all the debris.
 
Kokanee Tournament this weekend

I was out on another site and saw SWIF is hosting a Tournament this weekend, not sure how many will be attending but I thought I'd let you guys know. Might be busier than usual.
 
WOW, thanks for the picture, fish4kok! I might have to rethink my weekend plans...

The storm from yesterday might clear some of the debris.:) Hope they will clear all the drift wood at the portable boat dock. Weekend forecast will be sunny and 70+, there will be a lot of boats on the reservoir.
 
Spring Shores Docks

Can someone tell me how many sections of the main dock system are afloat at Spring Shores? Thanks and keep your tips up.
