Any fish jumping into the boat @ Hayden?
My second red Lamiglas kokanee rod broke just above the ferrile. What should I replace it with? Have any of you used the Okuma Kokanee black casting rods?...
What size are the fish running now?
Any kokanee being caught on Hayden this year?
Anybody use the Fish Hawk? I've always wondered what the temps were where my lure was and actual speed not GPS speed. Yes I know I can get an idea of where the thermocline is on other electronics but...
I still use some hoochies but have transitioned to flies or fly types of lures. Try tying this fly called the Rasticle. I like to tie a small amount of pink mylar or ?? on double snelled hooks and...
To me long lining is running a lot of line out the back pulling a small white grub or small minnow type lure.
On Roosevelt the Owner Cultiva in the #33 in particular outfishes everything else....

Thanks for the perspective, yes there are a lot of variables. I have a place on Hayden so fish there quite a bit and have never been skunked there much less 2x. My curiosity was if anyone...
2 days - no fish!
I have been on Hayden twice in the last 10 days and not had a bite! Color me frustrated. Surface water temp is up to 44. and I am marking fish all over the water column but can't...
Interesting that someone expresses their opinion and Negative Nedly takes offense. Thin skin!
The transom of the boat is the pivot point when the water is rough due to waves or boat wakes. Another reason to keep the downrigger as far back as workable is the stability of your downrigger,...
As far back as it is comfortable to operate. And the longer the arm the better. And if you do not already have them get ball retrievers.
I am going to Lake Roosevelt this weekend and considering soaking some corn in a "secret" formula. Only problem is I do not know the "secret".laugh hyst.
Care to share your scent formula for corn?
OK I'll bite that worm101ok101, what does Lake Roosevelt and Idaho have to do with each other?
I guess each persons definition of success is different. My definition of success is not to "get a limit" regardless of what size they are. I own a place on Hayden and practice catch and release most...
To be clear the launch and parking fees go to the city of Hayden not the game dept. IMO the F&G likes all of the additional licenses sold. If this was really a trophy fishery they would sell a lot of...
If they only planted 50k and the limit was 2 fish would you be OK with that?
Robbie;
I don't think you were negative, the facts hurt sometimes. I am totally with you in your opinion of Hayden. I have been fishing Hayden since they first planted kok's there and have seen the...
Anybody tried a small circle hook?
As water temps drop on Lake Roosevelt in Washington surface trolling gets pretty good. My favorite lure is Owner Cultiva. Colors are probably lake specific but here the blue or rainbow pattern works...
I started with the Lamiglass Jared Johnson 7'6" (red) and I like it. I've looked at the 8" (white) rods in the same brand and like the little bit more backbone that it offers. I also have a 7'6" and...
FYI, there has never been kokanee in Hayden until the first plant in 2012. The number of fish planted is a work in progress, that is why I posed the question if 100,000 may be too many.
The year before last, so 2013, was the first time I fished Hayden and it has not been the same since. The F&G says they are still planting 100,000 fish each year but it dies not seem like the...
I do have the hunt mode but do not know how to program it. The standard mode that comes in the unit does not change anything while in hunt mode.
The sheet you get with the unit is like a bowl of...
downriggeral;
After reading the first three sentences of your post I had to look to see if that was my post! X2!thumbsup
My boat with the Yam 9.9T with the iTroll my speed is .9 at idle so I just...
