Fall can be a great time to visit Wallowa Lake and watch the bright red kokanee spawning in the river that feeds the lake. This section of the river can be easily accessed from the Wallowa Lake State Park. Please be mindful to minimize any disturbance to spawning kokanee and their redds (nests) where they deposited eggs.

Kokanee fishing may slow as many kokanee turn to spawning. However, fishing for rainbow trout should continue to remain good especially at the south end of the lake.
