Kokanee

Kokanee are landlocked Sockeye salmon and exhibit the same traits as salmon do, just they are only in freshwater. These fish are prized because of their bright red meat as well as their feisty nature. “Silver bullets”  as they are called by many are freshwater treasures that we fish anytime from January all the way through June. We fish these family fun fishing trips mostly on scenic Lake Chelan. Lake Chelan is a perfect place for any family outing cause of the great weather and tons of lodging and food options. The cost for these trips is the same as other trips at $225 per person and $800 for 4 people and $1025 for five and $1200 for 6 people. 

Lake Chelan Kokanee fishing is a staple of spring in North Central Washington, even though many years we start fishing in the dead of winter. We will fish in a variety of locations on the lake usually starting up the lake and following the fish down to the low basin in early spring. January all the way through June usually proves to be good consistent fishing. Lake Chelan fish vary year to year, but most years the fish are a fat 12 to 16 inches, with a very liberal limit of 10 per person. We also have a very good west slope Cutthroat fishery January through March, then they head uptake to spawn, but when they are around you can expect some very good fishing for them, they will even hit a dry fly in winter.
