    Went up last Sunday to get the boat wet. Caught a few nice fish. 30-40’ down in 80-100’ of water. Pink or pink and chartreuse worked. The road is absolutely horrendous. There are signs now with the...

    Thank you! I think we’d see quite a few floating around if it were true. I’d never thought of that somehow.

    I’ve been wondering about this. I have been under the impression that Kokanee have a high mortality rate after release. With that being even higher in smaller fish and warmer temps. Have you ever...

    I just now saw this and that nobody answered. Chris had told me they always ran 1 rod for them and caught 1 at least every time out. Sounded like they were pretty healthy size from what he’d said. I...

    Payette Lake

    So, now that the secret is out, will we be seeing a Payette Lake report? I’ve been fishing it the past 2 years and caught some huge Kokanee. I did try the little Payette last spring as well. Once I...

    We fished Saturday 4/08 for most of the day. Marked fish in all the usual spots. Just couldn’t get more than 2 to bite. They were caught on green at 9 and 28 feet.

    Pauli- I was told they were not able to get any eggs from Deadwood again. So anything planted will most likely be from the late spawn fish coming from other waters.

    Lake monster images are out of date by a couple weeks last I looked. Fishing is generally awesome in the open water near the ice. Problem this year is the amount of snow covering the ramps. Unless...

    We had to launch off the beach. There’s still too much ice in front of the ramp and no path to get through to the open water. We fished from 10 to 2 and tried just about every color, combination,...

    Based on the Bureau of Reclamation we should be able to launch boats. Does anyone know how deep the snow is or if there is a ramp that’s plowed yet?

    Is that 15’ deep and 25’ set back? I’ve never ran that close so I’m intrigued. I usually go by the 100’ rule.

    If the googans had any sliver of respect or courtesy, I’d fish LP more.

    Last year I ran to what I assume is the shallow end. It was 6-10’ deep and a mud bottom. Then I do remember seeing the rock cliffs and thinking they’d be good. Honestly, and sincerely I appreciate...

    Has anyone been able to launch at Turner yet? I’m assuming the water is still really low. I am just itching to get out and drag some balls.

    Idaho F&G doesn’t care enough about fishing to properly manage any fishery in the state. There’s not enough money to be made in it for them.
