Very good action for Kokanee in the 13 to 14 1/2 inch range. The Koks can be found schooled up in areas above and below the 49 bridge, Glory Hole Point, the spillway, and off Rose Island. The small salmon are holding in the 30 to 50 foot depths but can be found as far down as 70 feet. Good lures to try are R & K pink hoochies, Uncle Larry's pink spinners and Shasta Tackles Pink Pee Wee tipped with corn soaked in Pro-Cure fresh water shrimp behind Vance's Dodgers. It's also good to use Vance's ball flashers for more attraction.
