Any guesses on the season this year? Above/below average??? Has to be better than last year though they may blow the res out because of the snowpack.

Koke Can is taken............:)

Fished from 6:30 to 11:00, not a hit from spring shores to charcoal. Seen one net in the water for a little rainbow but that's it

Yesterday was my 5th trip of the year and only the 2nd time I landed fish. Thursday, I landed two 13-14” and was discouraged when a fish hawk dove, thrashed around for some time and eventually flew...

I have two (2) Scotty Model 1085, 30" Strongarm Downriggers for sale. They both have been updated with 250# braid and come with Scotty Model 1026 swivel mounts. Great shape! Located in Meridian,...

I have not fished there for two years now, hoping 2021 will prove to be a better year.................

This is over a year old but....Yes, the gateway kit is required and you "must" have the blue plug Lowrance unit. I run it to my HDS for steering/control via NEMA 2000 and then have an Elite 4 for...

I drove up there yesterday and they had everything on the south side barricaded.

I have not been out this year because of this thread and I have two neighbors that fish regularly and their reports have been down-right gloomy.

One reported that finally on Saturday, they...

I use nothing less than 64" behind blades and in 2014 and 2015 I limited every trip and though I did not limit out every trip last year (2016), I was not skunked on any of my outings and caught 11...

Must be one heck of a snow pack they are worried about. It may be another month before things get settled.

I see where they planted 11,500 fish this week...

This season(?) it sure ain't limited to just this season.........there have been days over the years I should have sold tickets to some of the entertainment at the different ramps I have been to.

I stand corrected, that is the first time that I have every heard of a launch and retrieve side and I too have owned/raced/captained boats for well over 40 years.

As I mentioned, I googled boater...

I have launched boats from California to Florida and worked for a boat dealership in my youth and god knows that many don't follow any kind of etiquette. Butt, there is no "side" for launching or...

is there anywhere to put in if I am by myself or are the docks gone?

Near the dam...I was trolling through the river channel (dotted lines) at the 60+' contour, 30' deep with a minnow lure. The lake was 16' down, based on the contour lines/sonar readings last week...

I use the Lamiglas Team Kokanee JJ White 8' rods as my downrigger rods and they seem to work just fine as long as the drags are set correctly.

I have two rigged with pre-1971 ABU Ambassadeur 5000A...

Finally caught my first Cascade Koke....and thankfully released it unharmed. Spent 9 days at Cascade and picked up huge small mouth bass, a couple of cats, few perch and 2 trout over 22". I was...

That is funny, if you sub orange for green that is what has been working for me. Well, right up until a week ago when I changed to mini orange hoochies behind an orange and green dodger.

I read that and see most of the tiny Koke's near the launch at Spring Shores....there are thousands of them. There are some large swim bladder marks at 50-60 feet and I am thinking they are salmanoid...

I am thinking of targeting the Chinook the next time I go up. I caught one last year that was about 24" but that was early May and I was long-lining without weight. What depth do you think you were...

Went to LP yesterday morning and had a double on within the first 5 minutes and lost both. Reset and had another double within 5 minutes and laded both. By 10 am I boated 6 and lost 5....

Fished today from 6:30 until 10:30. One 22 1/2" male and a 17"male. Threw one back that may, may mind you, been 7"....was probably 5" long until I drug him around for 30-40 minutes. Lost 2 and had...

Have to agree. It's too bad that unless they shake themselves loose early on they typically will not survive. I love eating what I catch but it is a shame keeping 10-12" fish this time of year.
