2/15/2016 3:58:00 AMClipped fish are a myth. Four years ago we caught a few. Six or so years ago I'm guessing maybe 10%, not many. Maleman has caught a few 12" ones and I know I have caught 4 and none have been clipped. The ones that were released off the Ferry this summer are all suppose to be clipped and I'm guessing the 12"ers we caught could have been them. If not, where are they. The fish checker 2 weeks ago told me she checked 2 clipped Kok's. The Kok's we're catching now showed up a year ago by the thousands and thousands. Rumor has it they came from the Pend Oreille system. If they did I do not know if they are natives or hatchery fish. I think the Walleyes are eating all the clipped ones :)

2/15/2016 4:37:00 PMMan, those are some big bluebacks! I fish for Kok's here in north Idaho but we don't have any anywhere near that big. I'm licensed in Washington too and would really like to give this fishery a try. Could you tell me where you launch and where on the lake you fish? I found an unincorporated town called Keller on the map but it looks like it's up the Sanpoli river quite a ways. Is it that Sanpoli river backwater that you're fishing in? Or are you upriver from there? Jet needed or will a prop boat do? Where's the launch? Thanks.

2/15/2016 8:07:00 PMWow nice catch! Those are kokanee really? They are huge. Would also like to know what lake/river these are from. Just started fishing kokanee last year in kung coiunty. Hope I can travel to different lakes this year. Again nice catch.!
