Don't feel alone, I hear even the top notch guides are having a tough time on Stampede.

Don't feel alone, I hear even the top notch guides are having a tough time on Stampede.
Word of warning: My buddy bought one and asked me if I wanted to try it out. I took it out and when leaning back to make a fairly sharp turn water began gushing in from the motor mount area. That...
Hey guys, I'd like to try my hand at this. Where do you get those 6" spoon blanks from??
I was introduced to LC reels a couple of years ago by an old timer in Montana who swore by fishing with planer boards and LC reels. Learned a lot from him and benefited from his methods. I now own...
Never used live maggots before but tried them and found out they work great on Koocanusa. You can buy them at the Koocanusa Resort and Marina store if you're planning to launch from their facility.
There you go, those Koke's are the perfect recipe to get kids started on fihing! And smoking them right there on the spot lets you enjoy them imediately. Have a ball!
I think Super D makes a good point. If I'm trying to catch any species that'll bite, 100' is my minimum. Chatted with Keith Karrigan of Sierra Anglers as he was heading out of Stampede on Saturday....
If you stop in at the Koocanusa Resort & Marina store and tackle shop Randy (the man) can give you pretty good information on where and how to fish the lower section of the lake. The basic Kokanee...
Don't know if you're aware of the lake's condition. It's been drawn down to the lowest level it's ever been. Better check with your destination to see if it's even possible to launch. For some photos...
Fear not! 10 minutes after you replace all those lost squids you'll find the missing box!
HA! Come on you bums, focus, focus FOCUS! What about these Tica rods??
I've got a couple of KUFA's myself. Wife hates em' but they seem o.k. to me. Super light action......maybe a little too light.
Anybody out there using either the Tica KKHA or KLEA rods? I'm thinking of going to a 7'6" rod this season and was wondering how the Tica's measured up. Any information on a 7'6" rod would be helpful.
I'm also thinking about using braided line this year. I've heard that the downrigger clip really tears it up over the course of a season. Any truth to this??
You'll probably have to drill holes, usually 4 per downrigger, for each downrigger. I don't own a fiberglass boat but from another forum site a guy with a fiberglass boat was warned about the damage...
Jeez, that's a nice lookin' boat. Are you sure you want to start slicing and dicing it up for Kokanee fishing?? I'd give some serious thought to buying a 15' or 17' aluminum boat and setting it up...
I believe the rod you’re interested in is the G. Loomis CR841. It’s a 7’, 1 piece “ultra light” rod designed for 2-6 lb. line. It’s a great rod for Kokanee and light trout fishing. Not an inexpensive...
You're right fernand, the Daiwa Line Counter reels are nice reels. I would've preferred them over my Okuma line counters except I don't believe they come in a left handed wind model. Anybody know if...
Oops, sorry, made a huge mistake in my last post. Those 2 line counter reels weren't Daiwa's. They're Okuma's. I've edited that mistake.
I’ve been using the Shimano Calcutta series of reels for several years now. The Calcutta 100 and 200 series reels mate up beautifully with my G.Loomis CR841 and Cr842 rods. I use P-Line CXX 6 lb. on...
I hear what you're saying Bduck. I had a Lowrance LCX-111cHD for years but when I went to upload current files the thing "crashed" on me. After many calls to Lowrance it was finally determined that...
The fish arches go all the way across the screen and depending on the depth, go about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way down the water column.
Thanks for the advice Ken. I’ve basically done what you’ve suggested, using the 200khz for shallow water and 83khz for deep water. These two parameters are what the instruction manual s suggested...
I've contacted Lowrance about my 'problem' and here's their two responses:
1. "What speeds is the boat moving at when you notice this to be non-accurate? Have you stopped your boat and just let...
The structure scan shows nothing, no fish. Jestfishin'
