They do exist! Lots of doom and gloom in the reports about Kokanee fishing on Ward. Despite that we went out hoping to get our first Kokanee. Neither my wife or I have caught one before but did lots of research on YouTube.

Launched about 4pm and had two Kokanee in the boat by 6pm. Numerous rainbows to be had as well. It's a Derby lake so picking through rainbows can still be fun. (Still looking for my first tag)

2x13" Kokanee and a bunch of rainbows.

Winning combo was pink oval dodger from forsman tackle and a small spinglo with corn cured in pautzke fire cure.

I'm a little shocked. Good job. I haven't had luck there and neither have others I've talked to. What depth/section of the lake were you at?

South half of the lake. Running half ounce of lead 50ft back, probably 10-20ft deep.
