I used to nail them using slip bobbers off a local dock. Most people were shocked that I was getting kokanee that way but I remember it was all about finding the depth.Once in a while we would do that up at Baker off the shore. Very steep banks by the dam so you didn't have to cast far.

Anchor both ends of the boat, maggot tipped hook, sprinkle some "chum" in the water (blood meal,oystershell + concoction), rod tip barely dips and then rip her hard... yep, still doing it until we can't sit still once in a while. But I also fall asleep watching the tip.That's what I'm talking about! Now, where? :chuckle:

Clear Lake by Eatonville before the jet skiers wake up. Alder Lake but you need longer anchor ropes there.
Alder, go back into the Nisqually Arm, no wake zone and the bay near the end is only 50 ft deep. nothing but Kokes.

The kokes coming out of Roosevelt are going to 4 pounds and close to 20 inches.
Being boat-less, I've caught a number of Roosevelt's rainbows from shore, but never the kokanee. Is it possible to catch those kokanee from shore and of so...HOW?

Is the Nisqually arm where the river comes in to the north?

Sorry 3nails, I forgot about this thread
Nisqually arm is to the SW corner, behind a floating log boom with an opening for boats. From the boat ramp go right around the NW point of the island then straight south to the where you enter.
Most troll in the large bay near the end. Fish average about 12 - 14 inches. Late season up to 18 in. I have seen people jigging and bobbering as well.

I would venture to say anyone fishing them at nite has some sort of light, perhaps not what you might consider lites but they all have something.
Might be the ballcap style but they are fishing and some go to the extreme of having flashing led's located at the waterline.
Last summer there was a pontoon that had his own light show going most of the night.

Before the invention of the floating light my dad used to put a car head light in a 3 pound tin coffee can and then drop it over the side. It did what it was intended to do with out a lot of advertisement.
