6/17/14 Stampede Kokanee Fishing

Stampede Kokanee Fishing Today, we were at Stampede Kokanee Fishing. We ran three trips and took a bunch of Kokanee and a nice Rainbow off the lake. We caught Kokanee from 16 to 72 feet deep.

6/15/14 Stampede Kokanee Fishing

Stampede Kokanee Fishing Stampede Kokanee Fishing continues to be fantastic. We’ve set up camp and been fishing Stampede for the last few days.

6/11/14 Stampede Kokanee Fishing

Stampede Kokanee Fishing Captain Rick Kennedy has been on Stampede Kokanee Fishing the last couple days. What an outstanding Kokanee bite. The Kokanee bite was as aggressive as I think I’ve ever seen it. The fish were stacked in some spots like I haven’t seen in years. The last time I remember schools of Kokanee […]

6/1/14 Donner Lake

Donner Lake, we launched at 5:15 AM and spent the first hour fishing the top 25′ of water for Mackinaw. With no action we switched over to Kokanee. Overall, it was a great bite. We landed limits for our two clients and lost well over 15 others. Not sure why but they just wouldn’t stay […]
