Lake Simtustus(Oregon)

Lake Melones (California)

	Here is a typical Kokanee from Lake New Melones here in central California. The bite continues to be wide open in the main body of water, the fish seem to be holding between 45' to 65' and will hit most any lure trailed behind a dodger if it is tipped with corn......received July 20, 2002 Tight lines Danny Layne, Fish'n Dan's Guide Service

Brian Braker of Danville, Ca. holds a huge kokanee from Indian Valley Reservoir in Northern California. This is one of many large fish in the 2 1/2--3 1/4 lb range that we landed over the Labor Day weekend (Sep 99').Photo was taken by Terry Hopper of Redding, Ca. Submitted by Brian's fishing partner, Ken Hopper of Walnut Creek,Ca.

Whiskeytown Reservoir (California)

These fish were small by Whiskeytown standards, 12-14 inches with the biggest running 15 1/2".The hot set up was a gold plated Vance's dodger w/ a red wedding ring trailing 12" -- 18" (w/ white corn of
course).Most fish were caught at 35 feet deep. A few of the fish had some sort of parasite attached to their sides & 2 others had sores in the same area.

Detroit Reservoir (Oregon)

Here's a 17" Kokanee we caught at Detroit Lake on Saturday the April 17th 1999. We were trolling needlefish very fast less than 5ft. down when this one slammed us hard and misssed and then came right back again even harder.

Lucky Peak Reservoir (Idaho)

This is a picture of my 1st Kokanee caught at Lucky Peak Res. Idaho in Jan. '96. Trolling with a pink/blue and white florescent mepps behind a cowbell about 50 yards behind the boat. Lucky Peak is located about 15mi. east of Boise. I didn't get an accurate weight but the bathroom scale said about 6lb. and he was about 24 3/4" long.

Paulina Lake (Oregon)

	A fine mess of Paulina Lake Kokanee caught June 2, 1998 by Deral and friends.
	Saturday Morning found the lake covered in a shroud of snow clouds and the 1st 45 minutes were spent shoveling snow off the boat, then we proceeded to try and fish a lake that had about 30 foot visability..... 1998
	With only a 5 fish limit, fish like this make it worth the trip. 1998

Wickiup Reservoir (Oregon)

This is a picture of some of the 75 kokanee we caught on Sunday in the Wickiup report I sent on May 18th, 1997.

Crescent Lake (Oregon)

	Crescent lies just a few miles from Odell Lake. This pic was taken early in the morning 7-16-97.
	This fine Kokanee is a prime example of the fine fishing at this lake. There aren't the numbers of Kokes like at Odell and some of the other lakes. But when you get one there's a good chance it's a nice fat one like this.
	The previous pic almost cost me the drive home. This one rescued me. It measured 16 3/4 " and made the ride home much more pleasant. I hate driving :-)
	Another pic of the previous. Wish I could catch a dozen like that.
	Another pic of that very fine Crescent Lake Kokanee.

Lake Billy Chinook (Oregon)

	Nice Kokes from Lake Billy Chinook in July 1996. The fish were down around 90 feet and caught using the traditional wedding ring type spinner without the wedding ring and a silver coated blade by the island in the Metolius arm of the lake.

	This huge fish was caught by Mike Coburn on February 17, 2001. "Then, after reeling up approximately a couple of feet, I felt a "good" tug. I thought, this feels like a good sized fish!! It wasn't but a few seconds later that the fish decided to make a run for it! The other two fishing with me thought I had bottom. I showed them the action happening on my rod and the truth was known...you have a nice fish on!!!"
	A July caught Koke.
	A really good year, another fine fish.
	I thought the colors were especially nice on this one.
	Caught close to the "tubes", West end of the lake.
	One more in the net.

Odell Lake (Oregon)

	A fine specimen from Oregon's most prolific Kokanee Lakes. This was caught using a Wedding Ring type spinner at 104 feet deep. July 1996
	Got lucky with this one caught at 63 feet using a SEP'S Kokanee Kandy Lure (brass on back, pink and white on front) with corn (flavored with Anise) and red Potski egg.
	A nice male Kokanee - July 1996 from Odell 104 feet deep. You can really see the spinner in this one.
	Here I used a 3 1/2 inch jig with a piece of corn slung 3 1/2" below it. The jig attracts them to the corn. This one was at 135 feet!
	Final sample of a Odell 12" plus Kokanee from 1996. A very good trip. These pictures submitted by Robert Nolan
