Thanks for the report WGS. Waters cold.

Hope you have a good out there,what a great place to be.Lets us know how it goes for you WGS. Good Luck.

It's that time of year again oldranger,you been out on the water yet?

Well how'd you do Mike? I just don't get it,we got skunked today! Trolled everything at every speed from the C.R. Ramp to the dam,zip,ziltch nada. No riggers just 2oz banana weights. Dag-burn-it.

Nope I see nothing.

Your profile didn't say but I assume you must live in C.O. To be able to go there so much. Takes me about 2 hours from the west slope of Mt.Hood to get there. Good luck on the Bulls.

Wed and Thursday is looking really good out there.

I really don't think so. I heard the same rumor a couple years ago about another lake,contacted Todd Ashbury at ODFW and confirmed it was B.S.

Yes that makes sense, I love the taste of trout from colder water compared to warmer water. I have also heard some remove the skin.

That's a great idea DLM. I have heard of that organization before. Thank you

Well it was a failure. Here we are 3 1/2years later and the kokes are still 6 to 8 inches. What a shame this couldn't get more attention from ODFW.

Ok. I have heard the kokes from Wickiup can develop a muddy taste. We did try Odell last year but my god the wind was just too much .

oldranger do you fish this during the summer also? Seems maybe it turns into a water skier environment.

Nice going ranger,I can't wait to get out there again. That was my first time there and really liked it.

Yes Doc that is how I understand it.

We made it out to the lake on Monday, and it was fabulous weather. It was the annual"first time getting the boat out", for the year, disorganized, unprepared boat ride. I know I remember charging the...

Rich that guy looks sad. Sorry DLM maybe next year.

Ok, well I look forward to seeing what the future results hold for Green Peter. I also would like to see stocking held off until there becomes a need.
I see you just opened a new thread for 2016 so...

Yes agreed. That is a positive,did you read that somewhere or did you hear that from ODFW? Not being a biologist I wonder if overpopulation is the only contributing factor or there are other dynamics...

It seems like a travesty that this can't be a really great fishery for Kokanee. Well at least for bigger fish. Washington has a great fishery at Lake Merwin and we have Odell on the east side. But...

Dave, I seem to hear alot that the Kokes from Wickiup have a muddy taste but it looks as though your not in agreement on that? Those look really nice good job.

Where abouts did you camp at Ray? Thinking about heading down there with the camper and boat in a couple weeks.We havent been there in 23 years. I dont hear much Kokanee talk coming out of there so I...

Hi Mike, looks like you got a one man thread going on here. I`am determined to get out to this lake this year. We tried today but they had HWY 26 closed all day. Maybe next week.
