Title: Yale kokanee
Post by: allen on November 10, 2021, 02:11:22 PM
Let you all know there are some fish in Yale.  Limited Monday in about 5 hrs., but man, are they small.  Ten inches is a big one, a long ways to go but it was fun to get out.  Probably try Merwin next time.

Good to hear. I’m going to start fishing them again for the first time since I was a kid. Picked up a Smokercraft that i’m getting dialed in currently, and working on getting my tackle.

Do you care to share our tackle setup? Colors, tackle, and what not. Thanks!

Sweet thanks. I think I’m on the right track! Things have changed from the days of Ford Fenders !

Yep, I've had success with this setup too. It's generally good fishing, but I don't know how good it will be with all the water flooding I've seen out on the Lewis and Columbia today.

The more fish we catch out of there the better! They're so tiny they need their population thinned out a bit in order for them to get big. It's a lot more fun when you're catching 1.5 lb+ kokanee.

Yale has a lot more fish but they are much smaller. Merwin has bigger fish but a lot less of them.
