It has become a tradition now that my wife and I take the Smoker Craft up to Stehekin on our anniversary. This was our third trip and we experienced excellent weather and pretty calm water each time. Last year, as we were launching the boat, two anglers spotted me and said they had just returned from Stehekin and caught a bunch of kokanee. I had a couple of rods, and they gave me two lead balls and the set ups they used. I didn’t have any corn with me, but still managed to catch a kokanee without it. This year I was better prepared. I put out the downriggers just below the boat docks at Stehekin and started looking for fish. Before I even spotted a couple of large schools on the screen at below 100 feet, I got a nice kokanee at about 40 feet deep. We got another one before the wind picked up and we headed back to 25 Mile Creek. Also, there is now a web cam at 25 Mile Creek. Tom Burnett set this up, and all you have to do is Google 25 Mile Creek web cams and you can see the conditions of the lake.
