Kokanee fishing at Peter Hope Lake
Spring puts kokanee in skinny water — 10 to 30 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 30 to 70 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 80 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 92 ft, rated prime for winter kokanee. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (92 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 30 to 70 ft | dawn | Break off the point (49 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 5 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (49 ft) | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
