We just got back from the Gorge and the kokanee and smallmouth fishing was great. We fished at sheepcreek from 5:00pm until dark on thursday, we caught and released 10 kokes before setting up camp for the evening. Today we caught our limits of kokes by 8:00am and then started fishing for smallmouth. After catching 25 to 30 smallmouth we headed for home around 11:00am. Water temp was between 66 and 68 degree.

We caught a bunch of them on red and white spinners about thirty feet behind a downrigger ball set at fourty feet deep. Traditional kokanee stuff wasnt working for us but a fluke produced quite a few fish.<br><br>UNICORN CATCHER F.L.P.
We were using wedding ring lures made by Mac lures in the green color. Kokanee killers by Mac lures were also working in the same color. Find the fish and you will catch them, If you see fish between 25 and 40 ft.<br>they are are probably kokanee. We did catch a couple using lead core line, but down riggers worked the best. Good luck, WH2<br><br>
