on sunday DWIED and i managed a few hours out on lake pardee....we had been hearing reports of a hot kokanee bite.
kokanee are stocked freshwater landlocked sockeye salmon. anything 14-inches and over is considered good size.....above 18-inches is trophy class for fresh water....ours were all around 14"
we kept 4 nice fish including a tubby rainbow. didnt get very good pics, but it certainly was a nice albeit short day on the water.
14-inch kok
chunky rainbow
as table fare, if you have never tasted fresh kokanee, you have missed out!!
you have to see what a kok fillet looks like. i did not photograph mine, but stole this pic from a fishin acquaintence, same lake, same day....this guy is a real pro and he caught a bunch!
