Very overlooked
Mason Lake
Mason County
You can’t miss a school here on your graph.
They are everywhere. Most schools are hovering around 60 with some up near 45 ft
They are small now and will most likely be close to 12 inches in September-October 2022
This is a Great Lake to take your Family
These Kokanee most the time are excellent biters.
Here is the corn I used⬇️

Great video. I definitely wanna come check it out now.

@NorthwestCatch 2 года назад

Definitely do.

@Loves2Jacket 2 года назад

Man this is right by me! I'm going this weekend! I didn't realize this lake was year round. Thanks for the info!

@NorthwestCatch 2 года назад

You got it. Go thin the heard

Beautiful boat and gear you might try American lake in the off season when the crazy’s aren’t there

@kroutdooradventures 2 года назад

As soon as I can get back on the water I will come check it out!

@NorthwestCatch 2 года назад

Heck ya. Go thin the Hurd. I went back and dropped my hook size and landed 7 lost many more. I took the heads off and bbq’d whole and they were awesome. My family devoured them

Love your videos. Grew up fishing the ocean and sound for coho and kings. Fresh water has never really excited me much. Until now. Been gearing up for Kokanee and need to try it soon. I live in port orchard so these west side videos are very helpful. Thank you.

@NorthwestCatch 5 месяцев назад

Thanks so much. I was the same way. Ocean and rivers then found Kokanee then many others fresh water species. Fresh water fishing is definitely harder to find that big rush but it’s so much more relaxing.

@jay72mo 5 месяцев назад

Do you fish mostly west or east side? Winter months I get soo bored with Westport dead I think Kokanee might get me thru the winter until bottom fish opens up lol.

@jbkokanee1796 2 года назад

That small kokanee would probably look like a herring to a spring chinook too! lol

@NorthwestCatch 2 года назад

You got that right

@daveengstrom9250 7 месяцев назад

I fished Mason Lake about 10 years ago. But I wasn't fishing for Kokanee. I wasn't into it then. I moved to eastern WA and fish Roosevelt a lot now. I am trying to learn Kokanee. Your channel helps me.

@NorthwestCatch 6 месяцев назад

Right on. Any other questions don’t hesitate. I’m an open book Kokanee fishing. Nothing to hide on this channel

@macgyver5108 11 месяцев назад

11:16 you should get one of those tiny little bells that attach to the front line guide, that way you don't miss a bite for want of fishing buddies. They use em all the time for ice fishing.

Ok I’m definitely doing this thanks

@martinchen3838 2 года назад

Remember trout/kokanee caught using bait have to be kept. Thanks for showing us your techniques and gear, I got some ideas.

@NorthwestCatch 2 года назад

Sorry Martin but not true. They have to be counted towards your daily limit but not kept.

@Zach-K7FC Год назад

@@NorthwestCatch Now I'm intrigued. How can a fish count toward your limit if it isn't kept? Counting towards your limit, and keeping a fish, are synonymous in my mind. Not trying to be a game warden, just curious what you meant.

@intexxi 11 месяцев назад

@@Zach-K7FC it’s a dumb rule, but atleast in Washington it’s in the wdfw pamphlet. I doubt anyone except serious anglers even know of it.

@NorthwestCatch 2 года назад

Sorry I don’t have the specs off the top of my head. It is a 2021 HEWESCRAFT 180 pro v with a Honda 150 and 8hp long shaft kicker. I am very happy with this boat

@surecatch22 2 года назад

I only like the ones with DAVE Vedder in them. He’s so handsome, witty, and fun, and he usually takes me with him. This is Pogo on his IPad.

@NorthwestCatch 2 года назад

I’m right there with you Pogo. Tell your Dad to find that big Puffy coat he has and get ready. We are fishing soon!

so, no fish?

@chriszuccato5164 2 года назад

Why when you have downrigger mounts are you not using them?

@NorthwestCatch 2 года назад

Great question. First I prefer droppers always for Kokanee and second I did not have them with me. Next time I will for sure bring them.

@WetNetOutdoorsPodcast Год назад

You might get more bites if you shorten your leader

@NorthwestCatch Год назад

Thanks Adam. I do try that sometimes but maybe I need to try it more

@jackk2898 Год назад

Are you at Mason lake or Kokanee lake by lake Cushman?

Mason

@Roscoesadie 2 года назад

Are you using the angler West rod

@NorthwestCatch Год назад

Sorry for the delay. Velocity and Harrod outdoor rods

@bluegill2030 2 года назад

I thought Mason Lake was a private lake/land owned by Warehouser? We use to camp there but you have to be employed by them. Is it a Public lake now?

@NorthwestCatch 2 года назад

Always a public lake.

@bandgadventures4796 Год назад

Private access for what used to be Simpson. Public access on other end of lake.

@joshharrel5668 Год назад

You ever try it in summer?

@NorthwestCatch Год назад

I have a few times but the skiers get out really early. Huge wakeboard, wake surf and pleasure lake during summer

@richardpogue4959 2 года назад

Was that the Mason lake by snoqualmie pass or the mason lake by shelton

By Shelton

@richardpogue4959 2 года назад

Cool thanks, will definitely take the kayak up there this spring and give it a try. Thanks for the awesome videos.

@johnnygross4415 Год назад

Ever try maggots

@NorthwestCatch Год назад

Ya a few times. They definitely work but I think you get a better bang for your buck with corn. 1 can can last a long time

@jernplays1815 Год назад

Sucks keeping small fish but would definitely help with keeping down the population so those fish get bigger.

@tomking8597 2 года назад

Why didn’t you use the down riggers?

@NorthwestCatch 2 года назад

Great question. I was waiting for someone to ask. I fished this lake many many times and never needed them so I left them at home. Can’t say last year because I did not fish it, but years prior the Kokanee have been 9-11 inches this time of year and the bite has been ridiculous on droppers. I had a ton of bites on this trip but running #2 hooks they would not stick. Next time I go I will bring a downrigger.

@jamesrobbison Год назад

@@NorthwestCatch Get a hold of some Shuttle Hawks and you will almost always fish with your downriggers!

@seattlefishing4240 2 года назад

You never said what the date was when you were fishing or even the month? That would be helpful.

What a worthless lake for fishing,

@NorthwestCatch 5 месяцев назад

Definitely not. Just took a trip there, got my 10 and canned them. Some of the best Kokanee I have had. They are small but taste awesome. Not sure what the bite is like now after the cold snap but it was great the week before.
