I went a couple years back and fished it. We talked to the folks at Hooked on Toy's and they gave us very accurate info on the right gear. Stop by or call them if your headed over to fish. I don't have any what's hot or not info right now or I'd PM ya.

I do it all the time. I don't tell people the secret recipe, but something like identifying the bait used is common. A little overly-zipperlipped?

Why not? It isn't like the secret is locked away in some vault. Fishing is quite different than say a honey hole for Bears or Elk. Especially salmon, what fish that are there today will not be the same fish there tomorrow.

So in all honesty is the OK running cold enough for them to head up it already??
Yes and No. Last night the OK was 70 degrees. Earlier this week it dropped to the mid 60s because of a rain storm. So a lot of fish made a run up stream at that time. We are expecting more rain this weekend so that could drop the water temp once again. But the peak of this salmon run is still coming so there is still lots of fishin ahead.
I spoke with a tribal member working the nets in the OK. He said Tuesday they seen a large run of fish coming into the nets, that would have been when the water temp dropped and the fish took off up stream. Or tried too until they hit the nets.

Well I guess it can't hurt to give it a go anyways. Was planning on hitting it next weekend for a couple days. New fish mving in every day and at the rate they are crossing wells there should be plenty of fish in the pool.
You can always hit below wells. They stack up there no mater what the water temp is :twocents:

Fished Saturday and put three limits in the boat in 5 hours.
Sunday the three of us put 18 sockeye in the boat in 2.5 hours.
Down riggers at 20 feet, size 1 dodger running six feet behind down rigger.
14 inch leader with small chunk of shrimp dyed with red food coloring.
Trolling speed was as slow as I could go while still getting the dodger to do its thing.
Friday we stayed in the slot next to shore. Saturday and Sunday we fished closer to the mouth of the Okanogan and much further from shore.

Is there anywhere to tent camp near there? Thinking of heading up there next weekend
Not a lot of tent camping around there, but I imagine there will be space available for sure this weekend with the derby. Even if they have to put you on the soccer field, I'm sure they will find a way to accomodate everybody. :twocents:
