Thanks Legend.
 I have not tried for the Kokanee yet myself, but a couple of friends of mine have for the last couple of years. I've been eager to take the kids out to give it a try. I imagine they're great eating, much like a Sockeye probably.

Personnally I find that the Allouette Lake Kokanee do not taste as rich or flavourful as the Kokanee out of Kakawa. I think it's because of the amount of fish feed that ends up drifting from the fish farm pens. I really notice the trout are very bland - infact I don't even bother keeping them anymore.Even their flesh of both fish is not as bright as it should be. Lot's of fun to catch though. I know the Kokanee out of the Interior lakes like Arrow and Kootenay are way more flavourful and have brighter flesh and I'm sure that's due to the shrimp they feed on up there. Has anyone else noticed this?

THe kokanee in allouette lake do have lighter flesh than I thought although i still think they taste good.  I havn't tried kawkawa lake before but i may later on.  I heard late spring early summer is the time to go.  Any tips on the techniques used and times for the kokanee in kawkawa?  Thanks

I like trolling for them but a lot of people tend to anchor in front of the rockslide and fish krill off the bottom. Some troll flies for the trout. Kawakawa should be producing any time now.

whats disturbing is that kawkawa lake had a bass pulled out of there sometime ago. a nice chunky 4.5 lb largemouth with a belly full of smolts unfortuneately. The fisheries are concerned about this and are planning to implement a full kill of the lake if more bass are caught. hopefully there are no more in there.
