Kokanee Fishing Saturday
All
was on the lake at daylight and motored up to Ladd Creek and fished from there to Gold Creek. was marking lots of fish but the bite was on between 0830 and 1030; then it was over.
got my limit and was back to the dock at noon.
half the limit was 6/7 in (next year crop); the other half were nice 12 in with couple close to 14 in.

Checked out Grandad today.
I couldn't find anything to mark up there. Nothing at all. Caught a few bass.
Stopped in Reeds and marked herds of fish. Caught a bunch of 8-9 inchers. Headed home. I thought we should see some spawners. I thought wrong. Beautiful day. Nobody on the water at all.

How many did you catch Ricks?? Thinking about going one more time next weekend.

It was around 8 or 9. Tossed them all back. They were pretty young and studly tough. We spent most of the day powering hither and yonder and then sonar trolling. Not a lot of fishing time for covering most of the lake.

Zombie Fish and other ?s
Went up to the Reeds Creek area fishing for smallmouth this past Saturday 9/22. We did ok, about 50 fish between my son and I, but nothing bigger than 2lbs. We ran up to the end of Reeds. I wanted to see if I could see any Kokanee spawning activity. We didn't look in the creek because I didn't beach the boat but there were a group of about a dozen Mergansers clustered at the mouth of the creek. As we got closer we could see that they were feasting on Kokanee that they had pulled out of the water. The fish were about 12 inches long and in various shades of dark grey/black and also dark red. We left after that since I had my curiosity satisfied.
Does anyone know what other creeks they spawn into?
Also has anyone launched at the boat ramp near Grandad bridge? I have never been up that far on the water but was curious if it worth dragging your boat up the Basin road to fish up there?
Thanks

Seems like most spawn in the main free flowing North fork and tributaries like Skull Creek.
We used to camp and fish at Grandad every year when we lived closer. The road through Headquarters was the best. Late July and very early August for Kokes. Good bass too.
