Went there today. Didn't get out myself due to mechanical issues but only other person put there said they didnt get any. Heard it was gang busters over the last week though.

 ;D too funny

Just meant that it wasnt good when i went but could be good on any given day. Personally, i have good success there early and late season. Start off with a quick troll around, work the deep spots jigging and then troll some more if it's slow. Bait of choice is quality krill procured.

Yah ,  Capt. Quinn , he's a funny baffoon .
I know what you mean , one day it's great the next it's a bust ,like the Canucks eh! . I usually anchor over by th cottages and watch the sounder , wait till I see a school going by . Then I'll drop a krill down off the bottom . Did it for me .

I'm heading out there tomorrow. Does anyone know where to get Krill? Only place I know of is chilliwack dart. There was a pet store around Langley that had it but not anymore and all the other places I've called just have the krill all mashed for fish feed.

Cured deli shrimp works well too. I think worms would be good as well. Once I brought a lot of salmon eggs but found difficult to stay on hook, so I dumped in the lake. A fish caught later had full stomach of cured eggs.

Ended up stopping at chilliwack dart and tackle on my way out this morning. Fished from 10-2ish.
Lots of coho. Enough I lost track. Moved around switched techniques a couple times. Managed only 2 Kokanee to the boat. Good for a post dinner snack tonight I think.
Today I learned they should have an opening for Kawkawa coho.

Uh... The coho need to be released. No retention.  So I didn't try.

As Noahs Arc mentioned, you cannot retain the Coho in this lake so where are you getting your info? Do you have a reliable link to share that supports the "worms in body" statement?

I'm sure it was a "friend of a friend of a friend, I can't remember his name" that retained Kawkawa coho and found worms.

While we're on it I'll mention dumping a bunch of cured salmon eggs in a lake probably isn't the best practice either  ::)

I was wondering if curing chemicals were poisonous.
