Good. The kokanee are running 10 to 12 inches, a little bigger than the Stampede fish, and you can do a 10 fish limit here. A couple of limits is fairly easy, and doing much more than that is a real workout.

From the report (Capt. Brett Brady): Our fish are running 10 to 12 inches, a little bit bigger than a Stampede fish, and you can do a 10 fish limit here. Pretty much the standard kokanee gear. Anything pink, orange, and purple seem to be our best colors. Pink hoochie was working good. Fish pretty much 65 to 85, we were actually catching fish clear down to 95 feet, which is crazy for this time of the year.
