Well I am currently in the process of gearing up for Kokes this spring. Saving up for my downriggers and the Rod and Reel I want as well as some other tackle. My Grandad has Koke fishing down to a Science in Utah and has taught me alot about how to catch them. I know the techniques that work well and consistently produce fish at Flaming Gorge resivoir and will employ them here and modify them as necessary. But my question is, what bodies of water hold good populations of Kokes? Below I will list the bodies of water I am aware of. If any of you would let me know which of these are the best or add to the list. I live here in the South Auburn Area so the closer the better.
1. Meridian- I have heard alot about Meridian but it seems like they are smaller sized, Meridian is close to home though
2. American lake- I haven't heard as much the past few years but do any of you still pull Kokes out of American lake and is there a better launch than Tillicum. Tillicum is very suspect.
3. Alder lake, I hear they too are on the small side but there does seem to be a good population of them. Is alder lake worth Targeting.
4. Riffe lake- Although from what I understand they are actually land locked silvers and not true Kokes, I still will try this fishery but hear the level of the lake is low for a good part of the year making lauching a challenge.
Those are the main four I hear about but I know there are many many more. So on the west side what lakes are my best bet? And how bout the East side? I would appreciate any and all feedback from the ones who Target and catch Kokes.
