Any body make it up there this weekend? Planning on going up there Friday to do some fishing and craw-fish diving, wondering what the water conditions are (temp, clarity).
Well fishing was kinda slow today but we had a good time. We started out fishing near the ramp and it didn't take long and the Kokes came in but didn't seem real interested in being my dinner. They...
they are in there, I talked to a fish and game officer last winter on the ice and he said he took part in a gill net survey and they netted some nice walleye. He doesn't think they will venture very...
I was thinking the same thing that the fish must be further south. Unfortunately I only have a 2hp outboard on my boat so I am limited to staying around the ramp. Works alright for trolling but...
Finally made it out this year for the first time. We trolled from 6 to 10 this morning and only landed one and lost another one. Trolled from the dam and about two miles up. Nothing showed up on...
The Kokanee are going to be huge this summer (for Ririe anyway). I caught some ice fishing that where 15" to 16". I hope I can get my motor running so I can find out how big they are getting. I...
Fished Big Elk on the 13th. Ice was about 8" with 3" of water on top and about 12" of snow on top of that. No fish.
fishing was slow today for Kokanee up there. We did manage a few nice 15" fish. One thing I couldn't believe was all the water lice down the holes, there was thousands of them just under the ice. ...
There are actually a good number of Kokanee that spawn up willow creek. Some friends of the family have a large ranch not far from the Bone store. They get a good number of kokanee spawning up...
Yah the fish are deffinetly getting bigger. Those 15" fish are going to be hogs (by Ririe standards) this summer.
Fished Ririe yesterday and today, with good results. Caught a lot of 12" with a few pushing 15". Ice is around 4 inches and kinda slushy on top today. Kokes don't seem to picky on bait I tried...
Let us know how you do. I want to go over Christmas break, we are going to try Mackey or Chesterfield, which ever has the best reports.
How thick is the ice. And how big are the Kokes this winter.
Can't wait for Ririe to ice up. Just wondering what everybodys favorite jig for ice fishing up there is. This year I put a couple of sierra mini squids on some jig heads. Can't wait to see how...
here is the link to the one I found

see if you like this knot, its pretty simple I just need to practice it some more.
Hey I like those knots what is it called? I did a google search to try and find the best way to tie double hook rigs, the best I could find is called the tricked out egg loop on Utube, its a nice...
I hope you did better than we did. I don't know what we were doing wrong but all we could catch was little ones, and even then the fishing was pretty slow for us. We ended up catching 11 of next...
I'll be up there about 6:30 or so. Taking my brother who has never caught a Koke and my dad. We will be in a little 12' mirro boat. Come say hello if you see us. We plan on sticking fairly close...
What do you guys think of Fire Corn. I found a little can said it was for Kokanee, seems to work good.
Thanks for the info. I plan on being up there Saturday morning I'll keep an eye out for you. I also enjoy the ice fishing up there it can be a blast. I've also sat there and stared at my hole all...
way to make me jealous. I've been having problems with my idle speed so I got a new trolling motor last week. Spent all day yesterday flooring my parents house and I am dying to try trolling for...
Have you ever tried jigging for them at Ririe. Just wondering if it works. My carb needs cleaned out I can't get it to idle down slow enough. We trolled through school after school last saturday...
My Dad and I trolled around Ririe Reservoir this morning for a couple hours. We ended up catching 10 Kokanee. The fish are big and healthy and they put up a heck of a fight. Some of them jumped...
The fishing can be just as fast and furious when trolling in the morning as it can be ice fishing. I've done good using about any standard koke gear tipped with some shoe peg corn and then I squirt...
The fish in Ririe don't get very big. Average is probably only 13" or so. My buddy did catch one 19" this summer trolling with a rapala.
