Hell Hole Kokanee

The Kokanee bite was hot yesterday at Hell Hole.

I hit the lake at about noon, fished til sunset.  I caught my limit of salmon by 4, so I trolled for Browns and Macks.  I had one hookup but it unbuttoned before I could get a look.

No pics, unless you want me to take a picture of the kokanee on the grill.

Nice...pictures of fish on a grill...ummm...was just reading the recipe page...was curious how u grilled them up...???

We'll take what we can get.  Picture of the fish on the grill is better than no pic   Thanks for the report.

Half way through the smoking...

I did a water, sugar, salt soya brine and then smoked em using soaked hickory chips.

Like we're (me and Sonny anyway!) not gonna want a pic of a little salmon on the grill - yeah, right!   

Nice one.

Thanks jedmo.  Bob (from GSIII) and I are headed up to the Sierras next weekend for more kokanee and browns.

Good luck to you guys next weekend. I wish I could join you but I've already signed up for my company's golf tournament up in Arnold.

Thanks for the smoke Salmon picture    Good luck on your fishing trip in Sierra next week.  Please take lots of pictures and post them on your report. We always appreciated them.

ATF-

Thanks for the report.  Hell Hole has been on my short list of lakes I have wanted to visit. I have seen it in the distance while hiking around Tahoe.

How long of a drive is it from Auburn?

Thanks,

Jason

Jason,

It takes me about 1hr 30min - 2hrs from Auburn via Mosquito ridge rd. 

Just a shot in the dark:  Are you possibly the Jason who studies pinniped auditory processing? (your e-mail address looks familiar)

Any chance someone could write up a how-to kayak fish for Kokanee?

Method, equipment needed, other, etc.?


Thanks much!

Thanks for the info.  I knew it was quite a drive.

No that's  not me.  I've studied a few things, but I needed to look up what "pinniped auditory processing" was other than the obvious.  Interesting subject.

Thanks again for the reports.  I am tenatively planning on making it up to Hell Hole in the next few months.
