Our local Sportsmans Warehouse sells them, so others may too. Cost is $3 to $3.50. Colors are basically the same as other kokanee gear you probably have - greens, blues, oranges, pinks....
The Arnie's are extremely popular at Blue Mesa in Colorado and one of the main lures used.
Robby is probably the best guide on the lake and will answer most questions. He is really easy to talk to and will share a lot of information about the lake and the area.

I really like the pulled pork for leftovers. I think the flavor really sinks into the meat after letting it refrigerate for 24 hours after smoking. I rarely eat it the same day I smoke it anymore.
We didn't have any extended family over this 4th, so we kept things small. I smoked a small 4lb pork shoulder for pulled pork sandwiches, a small 5lb brisket and some ribs. For sides we had baked...
I use tomic lures when the bite slows down in late mornings / early afternoons and nothing else seems to work. I've had enough success to carry them on every trip now and have a variety of colors. ...
My brother fished for his last time this season on Saturday out of Buckboard. He said it was very tough and they only picked up 2 kokes, 2 rainbows and 2 macks. He said very few people were having...
The boys had a great time fishing and swimming. My nephew tried to jump off the boat while trolling, but we caught him just in time. He is only 4 and really wanted to go back to shore to play. He...
We made our last trip to the Gorge this last weekend, fishing out of Buckboard on Thursday and Friday and Lucerne on Saturday.
Thursday, we caught 20 fish, mostly kokanee with a mix of nice...
I had the chance to try out my brother's Okuma kokanee rods on my last trip to FG. They were 7 1/2ft and had great action to them. They are a little smaller in diameter than the JJ rods near the...
We fished out of Buckboard during the same time. We caught several fat rainbows and mack pups, the largest being 5 pounds. We only hooked up one kokanee, but never got it to the boat. The fishing...
We are going up Wednesday and fishing thru Saturday at Buckboard, but not fishing in the Derby. We go every year on this same weekend and have always done well. With what sounds like fewer...
Sounds like a great trip, Roger. Glad the weather cooperated this time for you. We are headed up Wednesday for 4 days and hope the fishing and weather hold thru the week.
I have used 10lb mono line from Kmart for several years. The line seems generic, but it is really tough. I use it on a couple of my downrigger rods, but not on my casting rods because it is not as...
I bought 50 pink flourescent Gami's a couple of years ago because they were on sale at a local sporting goods store. I retied all my apex's that year with them. I don't know if they worked any...
This is a 13lb prime rib that I cooked for 14 people. I started by putting a thick layer of a beef stock, butter, rosemary, and garlic rub on it. I cooked it at 450 degrees for 30 minutes, covered...
I am cooking a 13lb prime rib for Christmas. We like to get away from the traditional turkey or ham because we get overloaded on those at Christmas parties and other family functions this time of...
I went to gel cell batteries in the diesel and in the boat and have had no problems. They crank great and hold a charge for months without use. We've been below zero a couple nights in row now. ...
I learned several years ago that shipping packages to my office was the only way to keep the peace. My wife was constantly upset when new packages arrived for me, especially with fishing gear she...
I live an hour from Rifle, CO and used to travel quite often on that route to Meeker when I was guiding up there. There are more dead animals on that stretch of highway than anywhere I've ever seen....
My spending was down a little this year, but not much. I figured I saved a little money with fuel prices being almost half what they were Summer 2008. Unfortunately, I have almost $600 in repairs...
I have 2 100's, but they are a little small. I think the 150's would be just right. I love them though, they are smooth and have a great drag system.
Showers would be great. I wish they would increase the length of the campsites, they are way too short. I don't think there are hardly any that can fit a truck and trailer without unhitching the...
Great job bobco thumbsup I was going to go down last week, but my friend had to leave town unexpectedly and my boat still isn't fixed from my last trip.
It is a lot like bumper boats this time...
