2020 Lucky Peak Reservoir Kokanee Report

[sawtooth]

The season will be here before we know it. Best of luck to you all.

 

[Finatics]

Trolling on 2/15/20.

Did not find any Kokanee but did catch 4 decent rainbows and a 12" chinook. Right on the surface with Kokabow Dodgers and purple/pink squids. Did not mark any good schools, so they may be a ways off. The ramp at Turners Gulch has the dock in the water, so launch was easy. 21' White Duckworth, hardtop.

Thanks for the report. I fished one day last week with the same results. The water temp was 37 degrees , so needless to say, It is probably still to early! With the low night time temperatures there might be a little ice to deal with this week. Good luck to all!

Saturday 2-22-2020

Fished from 1030-4 mostly around gooseneck bay. Downright pleasant day after the thermal winds quit blowing. I caught 1 nice chinook 19 inches, 1 nice rainbow and 1 dink koke. Released all three. 40 ft with pink and green. All three hit when boat was barely moving. 1mph or less.

Saw plenty of boats out there on Saturday...no reports?

Ha! I was thinking the same thing! That is why I was checking. I fished across from spring shores at the point for a few hours on Friday. I was marking fish from 15'-45' and also seeing fish surface.
I did not catch anything. My trolling motor remote ran out of battery life and the charging cord would not charge. I don't think I was fishing effectively as I was in and out of gear trying to stay in the 1-1.5mph range while switching gear and making changes. Man I like having the remote electric trolling motor! I fished on the top 5' as well as down to 50' with long lining with weight. I had one fish on for about 5 seconds when I grabbed the rod, nothing there. I did see a remarkable fish that a gentleman on the bank caught. It appeared to be 24" trout and approx. 5lbs! He was sure happy! I tried pink, orange, green, hootchies and wedding rings with brad's dodgers, kokabow dodgers, crystal basin dodgers, and some christianson dodgers without success. I did not see anyone else catch anything. Beautiful day on the lake. Anyone else have it figured out? Hopefully April-May will bring some more fish.

Thanks, Smitt. FWIW, I was just a spectator but saw a lot of fishing, both in boat and from the shore and insanely enough saw a few wakeboats with folks brave enough to get into the water. No thanks...anyway, I too hope April and May bring more fish, as I really hope to get out there and drop some lines. Good luck to everyone!

I drove up there yesterday and they had everything on the south side barricaded.

WHAT???..... Is the Turner Gulch Launch closed???

[formulaben]

I was told that too from some folks at Spring Shores on Saturday...probably explains why it was so busy there. Not sure why it's closed.

 

[Pauli]

I see on the Amy Corps of Engineers website that they have shut down all "intensively used" facilities. Lucky Peak Rec area and the boat launch fall into this category. Lucky Peak actually falls under the Walla Walla district. No news when the ramp will be open again.

3/22/2020 Fishing Report

Just found this forum, this is my first post.

Yesterday was a really nice day to be on the water fishing with the kiddos. The ramp at Springs Shores was in good shape with usable dock. Fished for 3 hours - caught one small King and one decent Rainbow. It was a great day to be out and quarantined on a boat with the family. Water was 43 degrees. We caught the fish between 20 and 40 feet at 1.5 mph. The trout was caught on a diver/flasher/pink cyclone spinner combo and the King was caught on a Steelhead plug.

I'm in the Honda powered blue Jetcraft/Kingfisher. Flag me down and say hello.

Can you use the pic nic tables and make a fire at
Robie Creek?

2ND I caught a nice Chinook 3.5 lbs a while back when we hit 70. I will be going out soon. Major Cabin Fever!!!
