Patty and I went looking for the elusive Kokanee in the Keller Ferry area Sat. and Sun. mornings. Lots of fiesty new release rainbows, almost annoying, but lots of action. NO KOKANEE! We did catch a beautiful unclipped net pen rainbow around 3 lbs. Looked like a triploid. The fish checker said she has seen no kokanee since March 3, but 112 unclipped rainbows that were mistakened for Kokanee. Might as well be looking for Bigfoot! We had to give the kokes a try, hoping the reports of no fish were lies. Tight Lines... Lee

Thanks for trying and reporting Lee. Sure wish we could get back to where we were a few years ago with the Kokanee. Hopefully F&G can get some reintroduced. They are sure a great fish to catch.

I have the same report as you. Spent Friday night and Saturday searching for kokanee with no luck. Lots of rainbows including three 3-4 pound natives that were released. Lots of fun but no unicorns this time.

Thanks for the update - tried this approach in march and april until they released the net pen fish, same result. didn't even see anything resembling
a larger fish on the sonar and we trolled all the way from keller to hawk creek on several trips - like the mariners, there's always next year, except I'm
closing on 80 - persistence is omnipotent !
