My wife hooked up with a 18lb Chinook. I wish I could say Lucky Peak, although we practiced for 4 straight days. We fished CDA from 5 am till 9 or 10, then the power toys came out and...

We are done till next year although I wouldn’t mind catching some of the big Chinooks I keep seeing on the graph. We took a morning and just targeted them and had zero success. Seems like they are...

Made up for the terrible fishing
On the lake at 6:00. Fished till 12:30 then had lunch at he spring diner. Tried everything. Caught 2 small Kokes. Kept one because it was bleeding. Just filleted it and my partner and his wife will...
Sounds like a great trip. We have done pretty well at LP this year. Not great quantity but some real fat 18” fish. AR was a bust. One trip, 2 nice fat fish. The second only 2 small fish. We will be...
Glad to hear that. After your reply, I called them and booked a trip. Jeff, the owner I believe, seemed like a great guy. I told him what I was looking for and he was happy to help me learn. They are...
What do you know about Fins and Feathers (Adventure Guide Service). I have been searching and they have good web presence (if that is important.) It is hard to shop via computer and land with a guide...
That is exactly what I plan to do. Whenever I hit a new area, a guide is worth their weight in gold. I wanted to learn how to Sturgeon fish the Snake River where I live so I hired a guide.
My sons...
We are headed to CDA for the first week of August. Primarily fishing for Chinook but we will certainly play with the Kokes. My wife and I are treating ourselves to a stay at the CDA resort for our...
We were out as well. I have the 19’ boat with the hard top cab. We’re you in the raft with the electric outboard? We were fishing for the big Chinooks today. Not a bite. Switched to Kokes later. One...
I agree. Most of the time we work the south side however the last time out, the fish had moved north. Probably had to do with their food supply. When boats catch fish, the others seem to herd up. The...
Correct. Spring Shores. Me bad.
Most were concentrated north of North Shores it seamed. Just off the point on the East side.
That is what we observed anyway.
Launched before the sun came up. No action till 10:30 then sporadic action. Ran two stacked downriggers and most hit the upper line 15-20’. All colors seemed to work. Used scent and hot corn. LOST...
Kokes should be kept always. They don’t do well with catch and release like other fish do. I let many/most go, but not Kokanee.
ANDERSON Ranch
We fished Thursday. Launched at 6:00- fished till 11:00. Score: one squaw fish that was the best fight of the day and three embarrassingly small Kokes. No wind. Hot. Slow. Tried everything and every...
Thanks for the tips. We are going to go out Wednesday of Thursday and give it another go.
I am still new in the pursuit of Kokanee and learn something every time out.
Can you share details that led to your success? Debt, color, speed, scent, type of lure …. We tried everything and couldn’t figure out a pattern. Thanks in advance.
A friend and I fished LP yesterday, arriving at 7:30 done at 1:00. SLOW. The lake is almost full and all the docks are floating. We were there 3 weeks ago and the lake was a lot lower with no docks...
We arrived at Curlew at 7:00 this morning. One other boat beat us on the lake from there. Counted 8 boats during our exploration in which we covered the whole lake. We picked up a lot of fish off...
Thanks for the reply.
Never fished ANDERSON before but have bee doing well at Lucky Peak and CJ Strike. Can anyone tell me if the boat ramps are available and at what launches. I’ll report back to the group.
Thanks in...
Fished CJ Strike yesterday. We were fishing for Rainbows, trolling Rapalas and a shad rap. Strange thing happened, caught 4 Koks. We were marking quite a few schools before the high winds forced off...
Nice 14 1/2” Rainbow. First fish gets eaten.
Learning more every time out. We saw quite a few boats out today. 8 trailers at the ramp and we had a little company while on the lake? Saw lots of...
