Well my neighbor and i went to alder yesterday afternoon planing on fishing the evening bite. Well after trolling all my usually spots and putting 10 trout and 5 silvers in the boat. We finally found the silvers and wound up putting 15 in the boat! The big news is they are running close to 12in and with a 10 fish limit ill take it all day everyday.

Scrminbanshee,

Nice Work and thanks for the report!!

Well made it out to alder again today. Had to sit at the launch for a while to let a storm blow through finally launched and had to fish through a couple storms till it got to bad to fish. Still in about an hour and a half and was able to put 3 nice kokes in the boat! 2 where 12in and the other being about 10in. Its weird this year the fishing is great but the fish are definitely in a bunch of different spots this year instead of the last couple of years. The other thing is man are these some pretty fish so chrome they have a little bit of pink down the side. I have been going back and forth on this and thought maybe i would throw it out there. So how do you tell the difference between landlocked silvers and kokes? These fish this year seem different then last year much more thicker and bright chrome. I'll probably just chalk to a decent year out there but maybe instead of silvers are they Kokes? anyways pics of the fish

I know that you all might be getting sick of my updates about alder but made it out again today and managed 15 kokes and 9 trout. My buddy took the trout and four kokes and i took all the kokes before long my kokanee sausage will be up and going. anyways heres a pic. Biggest was at 12in i think i am starting to get it all dialed in out there.

Nice Catching Dan!!! And no, I don't get tired of your posts. Haven't fished Alder since February but will probably make it out there before I change my focus to Salt Water in the next couple of weeks. I've been doing decent at American and Clear but don't post too often.

FYI- There are no landlocked silvers in Alder Lake, only kokanee. Silvers (coho) never made it up there historically, nor were they ever planted, nor have ever been found by the creel surveys that have been going on since the late 1990's.
