Kokanee anglers flock to Pend Oreille in 2014

IDFG to present update on Lake Pend Oreille Fishery

For Idaho Panhandle anglers and biologists alike, one of the greatest highlights of 2014 was watching scores of anglers enjoy great kokanee fishing on Lake Pend Oreille. In response to the growth in the kokanee population, the kokanee bag limit was increased last spring from 6 fish to 15 fish. Anglers took notice and came out in droves. Preliminary estimates indicate that anglers harvested nearly 150,000 kokanee in 2014.
