Landlocked Kings in Roosevelt?
« on: March 16, 2014, 01:58:27 PM »
Was reading a report on another board today and a guy posted a report about a HUGE kokanee that he caught. The picture is definitely a small king, and others that posted a response agreed, it was a king. Has anyone ever heard of landlocked kings in Roosevelt before? I definitely have not.

I've never heard of one in Roosevelt either. They used to be fairly common in Chelan. Could be a fluke or a bogus report? I've heard of plenty of black mouth caught in Lk Wa and Sammamish including one by my brother so I guess its possible. It definately looks like a king in the pic. Maybe its the start of a new opportunity?  :dunno:

Sure wish more landlocked kings were established in more of our bigger deeper lakes. They do fine and create great opportunity since we really can't fish for coastal kings anymore.
I know they grow to good size in Lake Coeur d' Alene Idaho and taste good too.

kings would be plenty natural for Roosevelt.  It was us that ruined the historic runs of those fish.  Shame too!

Is anything really natural or native in this state anymore? Makes more sense to provide land-locked salmon than to have hatchery salmon :twocents:

Anything in Lake Cda will/could be in Roosevelt. An old friend of mine holds or held the state record pike. He caught that on Long Lake. Last summer another monster pike was caught in Riverfront Park. Its all connected.

One problem with Roosevelt is that they flush so many fish downstream with the big drawdowns, unfortunate....

Walleye fishing Roosevelt last spring and we boated a small chinook.  They put a few in there, but I don't know if it's an ongoing program.  If they could raise them up in pens like they do the blackmouth here in the sound, it might keep them from wanting to go downstream with they draw the reservoir down.  :dunno:

I thought I heard the tribe considered putting Chinook in Roosevelt with BPA funds to mitigate the loss of salmon due to Coulee dam. I had thought they scrapped the plan but maybe they have a few fish they are trying out? Maybe someone who knows more can add better info?
