Just be sure to note wind conditions before you go. Allouette is big and can get really choppy for a small craft like a canoe.

Bbronswick2000 do you go up to Gold River or across maybe where the pylons are on opposite side?

If your in your boat you will see them rising. They rise everywhere. We catch them right in the middle of the lake trolling a clear intermediate.
-
Can you cast and strip for them? I've never fished for them before. ???
-
Troll a minnow pattern behind your canoe, they will bite. They seem to prefer the steady speed of the trolled fly as opposed to the jerk of a strip retrieve.
-
Thanks for that Sandman, my brother-in-law swears by trolling for Kokanee, where I really prefer jigging about a foot off the bottom , seems like both techniques work equally well, but Allouette Lake is much deeper than Kawkawa Lake and trolling seems the way to go, thx, :)
-
Thanks bbronswyc2000 will keep eyes open here for any updates in the next couple of weeks, as my first time out was last year and it was hot middle of summer day the fish were all on the bottom, could see them on the finder but out of touch, I hear there are Lake Trout in their two, anyone withnany success on these reported bib fish? ???
-
no lakers, but there are big bulls.
-
thx Canso, You'd probably know then if there are Cutties in there also?, and sorry Bbronswik2000 for the spelling errors on your name twice, makes you wonder how I tie hooks on my lines?-lol :-*
-
Their are some rumors of lake trout in the lake. Their was a picture floating around the internet of a large fish from the lake. Cutthroat are stocked into the lake.
-
I helped out at the last two Allouette Derbys. A few cutties were weighed in nothing over 1.5 lb. some rainbows not much over 2 lb. Very few dollies/bulls nothing over 8 lb. Many limits of kokanee.
Most of fly anglers I talked too said they got their kokanee on a dead drift with about thirty feet out fifty feet of line out. Hit up Hatch Match'r for their Kokanee killers.

Lake trout were stocked in the 60s, but never reproduced, and then again in the 90s.
-
I saw picture of those lakers back in the late 70's, taken by a guy who use to buz-bomb them. I also have a friend who scuba dived Allouette back in the 70's, he told me the lakers use to hold right along the bottom of the old river channel.
-
There was also an article in BC Outdoors in around the 80,s.
Was 3 good fish up to 21 lbs and was a neighbour of ours.
-
chThanks newsman, will check out and will check out Hatch Match'r for their Kokanee Killers, have you any information on this years Derby's? ???
