Since Lake Stevens doesn't kick on for Kokanee till first week of April, We looked at the weather yesterday and saw it was a great sunny day and figured we give the Black Mouth a try on the "Race Track/Camano Head". Woke up this morning and got down to the Everret Marina, launched the boat and hit the Race Track. Within 5 minuets we had our first fish in the boat, a nice 8 pound 30 incher! Using 3.0 and 3.5 spoons, dipped in Super Dipping Sauce trolled behind Red Racer flashers were the ticket. We also released about 6 subleagel chinook ( 18-21 inches), those fish were released safely to fight another day. Tight lines everybody!

Just goes to show, using the right gear at the right time speaks wonders. I fished the same spot this morning, but only using cut plug herring, lost one fish, felt small, and no more action, finally left around 11:30am.

LOL I left them out there for you. Nice job. I was out Monday and caught 1 before I got blown off the water. Try again next week.

8-2 closes on Monday which is a month early. 9 is open for now but I'll bet it doesn't last until 4/15. Hit the quota I guess.

Other than the limited coho closures, when does 8-2 open again for other salmon?
