Nice report. A buddy and I have fished Causey for a couple years now specifically for the kokanee. He has a small flat bottom aluminum boat with two downriggers that we troll from. In order to avoid the crowds we get on the lake at first light and the majority of the time are off the lake in a couple of hours with our limit. I think that most of the people that hit that lake are casual trout fishers or people there for other things(kayaking, cliff jumping, etc.) It took us about half a dozen trips to the lake to get the kokanee dialed in. They like cold water and go deeper and deeper as the water temp rises throughout the summer. They are some good eating when smoked!
