I am still hearing from a lot of frustrated anglers who are not finding good kokanee fishing. Mostly about Lake Chelan, and the fact that they are hard to find and when they hook some they are very, very small. I am hoping with warmer weather big schools of kokanee will move into the lower basin and a few big fish will be among them. If you want big kokanee go to Palmer Lake. There are fish to 18 inches being caught there. If you want lots of kokanee that are 13 inches and fat, go to Buffalo Lake. I spent the long weekend there and they are plentiful. I also saw triploids to about 6 pounds being landed here, but I couldn’t find a triploid or even a trout for that matter. If didn’t have any trouble catching the kokanee, though. I used either a trout dodger and Super Duper combo, or a Mack’s Lure Flash Lites and Wedding Ring spinner set up, both tipped with corn. I put these about 50 feet behind the boat and trolled pretty fast, up to 1.8 miles per hour. As usual I found Buffalo Lake uncrowded, even though my wife and I were there over the Memorial Holiday weekend.
