6/8/2018 11:08:12 AMStevens can be tough at times. This time of year specially. Another week of two they should be schooled up a bit more and a bit more aggressive. The fish are there though, ive been out there 5 times so far this year and have caught 45.

6/8/2018 11:29:38 AMThanks Josh, I guess I thought fishing would be as good as I had in June of 2016 when I had 50 nice Kokes by June 12th. Got 3 so far this year ( and 2017 I got 5 total), same rigs as 2016 and 2015.

6/9/2018 9:55:28 PMFriend of mine was out on Stevens today. 12 inch leader, 45 feet down, 1.2 - 1.3mph, chartreuse and purples, fished from noon til 4pm and got his limit. Completely different color set ups, leader lengths etc. that earlier in the year, and even this time last year. The fish are very finnicky on Stevens at times and can want very specific things almost day to day.

6/12/2018 12:32:17 AMi think the increased cutt to koke relationship is related somehow, not specifically in stevens.... but in other declining kokanee lakes the cutthroat at least "seem" to be thriving in the absence of kokanee. Not sure if they are the cause or just a sign of the changing ecosystem.
