Headed out to try my backyard lake in Nolte State Park for some kokanee. Tried my usual dodger/hoochie, dodger/wedding ring and didn't even get a bite. Rigged up with dodger and red teaser and got hit by a 10" koke at 15' near the inlet. Half-hour later a 12" cutthroat along the east shore in 20' of water. Surface water temps 69-70 degrees. There were too many rafts and inner-tubes to be enjoyable, so packed it in.

Had to share a sign marking No Parking area at Wilderness Lake (Maple Valley) on the 4th. of July. No explanation is needed! My computer wouldn't let me post on Wednesday, but I figured all kokanee lookers will see it here. I pulled 3-11" kokes from 24' to the right of the launch. Surface water temp was 68 degrees.

Thanks for the report. First I've ever seen of kokanee in that lake.

And I laughed quite a bit at the sign when I saw enforcement. Took a little more time to notice the second problem. And a little more to notice the third. Apparently somebody got the party started early...

With booze as readily available as it is, the party never ended. Something tells me there was more than one of these sign's printed.

MotoBoat;
Yes, there were many delineating a no parking zone along one side of the WDFW launch area. You caught all three mistakes.
