Kokanee Lake is sometimes called Lower Cushman Lake. It is open to fishing year-round. The lake is stocked in March, May, July and September with larger catchable-size (11"-13") rainbow trout and again in the fall with good numbers of larger rainbow trout to provide a fishery through the winter. Stocking events coincide with Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day weekends to provide excellent fishing in this cool, deep lake throughout the summer months. Though there has been periodic construction activity at the Tacoma Power access, the lake is fishable by boat with limited shore access. Trout tend to school near the access immediately after the plants.
