    Agreed! I can’t recall the last time I saw more than about 6 boats actively fishing on the whole reservoir and that includes holiday weekends. However, I have had 50 boats fishing the same water I...

    There may be some bigger ones based on what I was seeing on the finder, but they could have been trout/chinook too. I saw a guy catch some Kokes while mooching, but his weren’t any bigger from what I...

    I’m only speculating, but I doesn’t sound like he was even close to deadwood. I tried to go home that way Friday night, but the road was closed at the deadwood lodge so I had to go through Bruce...
  4. June 5 trip

    Did a rush trip to deadwood. Bruce meadows is the only road open and it was a little rough. Lots of pot holes in the first 10 miles. Got up there Thursday night at 10pm and camped by the ramp at the...
  5. Crappy weather

    Fished from about 9-3 today trying out all the new toys. Windy and raining cats and dogs. Spent about an hour at fall creek first thing with no luck and ridiculous wind. Jumped up and spent the rest...

    ****

    Almost forgot...don’t get hung up on trying to isolate the downriggers from the boat or “leaking” voltage from a short in the boat. Nothing is isolated because the boat is in the water and...

    Go test the boat with a $20 volt meter before installing. You may not need the black box. If you are catching fish on par with everyone else, you are probably ok. It’s not going to make you catch...
  8. Speed

    Isecond the notion of the go to setups. I have my favorites for all the places I fish. Don’t ever use a green/black WR on arrowrock at first light though... ;-)

    My go to speed is 1.3 with s...

    Lowrance HDS Live for Kokanee

    I’m in the market for a new fish finder and I’m curious if anyone had tried the new HDS Live for Kokanee. Specifically I would like to know if people are able to pick up Kokanee on the 3D structure...
  10. Big ones

    I have yet to land one of the big ones in Anderson in 3 attempts targeting them exclusively. I don’t think they are there in truly fishable numbers because I didn’t see that many on the finder. Few...

    Fished Saturday targeting the big fish. Didn't see much on the finder....a few scattered Kokanee schools between lime creek and fall creek. Landed 1 small chinook and 3 huge squaw fish. Long lined...

    Fished 7 to 2. Landed 1 trout and had a few drive bys. Stayed away from the fleet mostly but it didn't look like anybody else was catching much. Fished near dam and up the sf arm.

    Lots of fish...

    Fished Saturday from 9 to 4. Started at the dam and worked all the way to lime creek. Didn't see much on the fish finder. Nothing landed. Was targeting big fish all morning. Switched to Kokanee gear...

    So I get that this is a Kokanee forum, but no one ever really talks about the coho up there. Do you use similar gear? Do you need to troll faster? How big are they?

    Jimmyjav,

    I saw you out there kicking around. You were certainly in an area with plenty of fish. It sounds like a cliche, but if you want to catch Kokanee use Kokanee gear. If I was going to try...

    Good news and bad news. The good news is that there was very few boats...as expected. The bad news is that the Kokanee fish was sub par and we got encroached on by other campers. I didn't really...

    Hit the water "early" today along with what looked like the rest of the city of Boise. 2nd time on arrowrock and I couldn't believe how many boats were on the water. Made me kind of miss only having...
