Received a report of some decent Kokanee fishing on Rufus and decided to check it out. Decent was an understatement. Not knowing how to fish this lake I started out doing the basic Kokanee thing. 25 feet down and 80 feet back, instant hook up with a 17 inch koke. Almost instantly we had a triple with two more big fish in the boat. Then limits within 15 minutes. All 17+" fish. Most insane fishing I have every had in the winter.
Being limited out we decided wit work some drop offs and current breaks to see if we could catch some walleye. But we coukdnt keep the dang Kokanee off! Called it a day after a 20 inch monster crushed a rapala and we realized that. Walleye want gonna happen with these little beasts around.
I will be back to this lake very soon.
