Anyone got an idea if the temp of Lake Stevens hitting the Koke zone yet?

John Thomas of Rotten Chum Guide Services gave a kokanee seminar at Gregs Custom Rods in Lake Stevens last Saturday and I asked about the land-locked sockeye bite.
Its just getting started so I would call Greg's Custom Rods in Lake Stevens and tell 'em Nelly sent you!

The other day the surface temperature was in the mid-50s but I suspect that warmer water did not extend very deep. Currently we are looking are looking at typical mid-April fishing. Sporadic bites that last for short periods spaced with several hours of inactivity. Over the next couple weeks (maybe earlier with some more nice weather) look for the frequency and duration of the bite periods to increase.

Most years by late April or early May you can expect some consistent fishing. As soon as the lake stratifies (mid-May??) look for the fishing to be wide open.

Ill give Jodi a call... thanks for the heads up on the short bite.

The fishing is improving but not smokin just yet...stay in the top 15 feet of water with dick nite dodgers with wedding ring type spinners in red or chartreuse tipped with corn or maggots...last Wednesday morning we boated 7 Kokanee...got affordable dates available if anybody wants to learn how to fish for them...good luck
