Go early in the am to get a parking spot on the rd where the boat launch is. Not sure if it’s open this spring. Last spring the city blockaded the public boat launch with concrete dividers.

Thank you for the info guys, I live in Langley its a bit of a drive now I can plan and get there early so I can park safely
much appreciated

It appears Hope is considered Interior for the current restrictions.
-
Yup, it pays to read past #1 :)
-
My understanding is that we are allowed (but not recommended) to travel and fish between Boston Bar and Pemberton. So any crowded urban lake is fair game, but those (now) deserted lakes over the Coquihalla are out of bounds.

I clicked on the find your health region Hope is listed under Fraser Health which it is. Yet the ministerial order says otherwise good luck enforcing that when the same website shows otherwise.
-
It's not about enforcement. It never really was, it's about trying to keep the virus from spreading to cities that are incapable of handling an outbreak right now. Stay within the health region as defined by the health authority right now unless it's essential to do otherwise and then hopefully we can fish everywhere this summer/fall.

Went today to jig for them with small spoons and 2" buzzbombs. Went on the northern side where the drop off is steeper. No fishfinder. No luck. I'm a terrible fisherman
-
You're not a terrible fisherman but it's very tough to jig for them without a finder. I would troll around if I didn't have the use of electronics for kokanee.

I just picked up a new fishfinder and is amazing how many features it has for a $150.00 unit.
Even has GPS.

I have 2 of these units to use on my assorted boats and they are amazing for the price.

@CohoJake and @firstlight - are they good at picking up fish?
I talked to someone at a local shop and they said they're only good for identifying structure and maybe bait balls, but won't do to good at picking up individual fish. Can the Garmin Striker 4 pick up fish in the 10 inch range at 40 - 60 ft depth? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm very very new to lake fishing.

Yes, I use it for trout and kokanee all the time, and the kokanee are on the small size where I am. Kokanee look like an arch on the display. I fish 70 feet of water and can see them from the surface to the bottom. The only time the display is unclear is when fishing shallow water with lots of weeds.

Apparently Kokanee have huge swim bladders. All I know is that they light up my Humminbird like a Christmas tree. Even small fish (Alouette) are really easy to distinguish.
