Thanks for the heads up Sam’nilla. I usually stop Koke fishing in Sept and pick it back up in late October. Let’s the spawners get out of the way.

Does anyone know when the dam launch construction will be completed and a person will be able to launch there ?

Likely not until next year.

FYI Merwin and Yale boat ramps are open. I am going hunting for the next 2 weeks then we will start our count again.. We got 653 kokes in my boat between merwin and Yale and that is with a month off because the governor thought it was too unsafe to fish with the china virus, Don't forget to VOTE! sammy

All right Sammy - impressive Koke count. I’ve taken a month off, but will launch Sa****ay.

Merwin or Yale? I’ve never targeted kokes in early October. Got any suggestions? How deep? Where? Colors? I’ve got plenty to learn.

At this point, I’m the one who’s hooked. My counts have been considerably better at Yale.

Yale is pretty much done for the year. I would try merwin. You will be getting next years spawners that are about the same size as Yales spawners now. I would guess that they should start coming up a bit with the water temps cooling. This time of year in merwin you will have to deal with the squaw fish but they do make tasty food for the eagles and osprey. Also check out cougar creek. It looks like we did not catch them all. I stopped by there to day and lots of red spawners in the creek... kool! :twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents::twocents:

Merwin it is then. Thinking I’ll start with 80’ back and 30 down. Pinks and oranges. Pink corn. 1.4. Waterfall then toward the dam.

Look forward to checking out Cougar - great intel/info. Thank you.

Just curious if anyone has dropped a boat into Yale recently.

I did on 11/01 but that was a big mistake and not a good judge. Clear skies and a full moon weekend allowing the kokes to feed at night. Only one other boat out there that day.
