Barb and I finally made it to Dworshak Monday. The highway from Gibb's Eddy to Orofino has a lot of road construction going on, at one point we were held up about 45 minutes, took much more time than...
Thanks for the report stevec, we will give it a try next week glad you had some kokanee to take home. We were going to fish Dworshak this week, but the dismal reports changed our mind, will let you...
Thanks for the report John, really sounds encouraging, Barb & I may give it a try this week. I sure like catching them using downriggers, and ultralite gear, but for numbers it seems like we catch...
Thanks John, The Snake here in Hell's Canyon is high & cloudy, up until a week ago it was really good Steelheading. Think we may try Dworshak for a day soon, will make a post when we go, some fresh...
Has anyone fished Dworshak this year for Kokanee (2017) ?
Go to www.dworshak.org, when the page comes up look for "Water Levels and click on it, this will show the current and past water levels. By the end of July the water level will probably be down...
fishingmom, On my post it reads - "attachment 8560", when I click on it the picture comes up just fine. Sure wish the picture situation could be corrected, it would make this website more interesting.
ricks those are really nice Kokanee, glad the size is a little better. I have the same problem trying to look at pictures, error always comes up, I'm going to try one here to see what happens.8560
stevec, I'm glad I read your comment, and will try to help. Launch at Big Eddy, then start fishing Merrys Bay, fish the shoreline on the far side. If that is not productive go to Indian Creek, and...
Good fishing Rick, maybe those are next years fish, if so they will be quite a bit bigger next year. The last time we were out we fished Canyon Creek, caught 20 in about three hours, they were all...
Barb and I fished Tuesday morning, nice weather, beautiful day with a lot of clouds and not too hot. We launched the boat at Bruces Eddy and headed to Canyon Creek, about a hundred yards out the...
John I hope someone says they had better luck than you did. We have put the ski's away for the season and will concentrate on fishing. Had planned on going to Dworshak tomorrow, but the forecast...
Welcome to the forum cgtootall, will be looking forward to your reports. Since you posted on the Dworshak Thread I assume that you will be fishing there, there's a lot of fisherman on this thread...
Thanks for the information John, I think the F&G is correct, the holdovers from last year are still there, the small ones that are being caught now are next years fish. What area were you fishing? We...
Sure hope you just got into the smaller ones microfish, on several occasions we have hit schools that were mostly small fish. I am pretty sure there's a big number of larger ones, we were catching...
Hi John, We are doing the same, the steelheading is really good here on the Snake, but with all the warm weather the river will probably be out of shape soon. Do you usually start fishing near the...
Just finished a fishing report for Washington Lakes, and decided to check out the Kokanee. Was nice to see that sawtooth had started this thread.
Have any of you folks tried Dworshak yet? am sure...
Good catch John, makes a busy day when you are catching that many, were you using a flasher like the Slingblade, and how far was the set back from the ball? I'm really glad you were catching them...
That is pretty good John, have you or any of your friends been out recently. We have been picking Huckleberries, and have been waiting for the weather to cool down a little, as soon as it does we...
Hey John, was thinking the same thing. We have not been out since we met you on the water, have heard that fishing is pretty slow, would sure like to see some reports. With the weather cool down it...
According to the weather report you will not have to endure the triple digit heat, should be really nice. We always camp at the Osprey loop, from there it's just a short walk to the very nice public...
Thanks for the report fishslayer13, You are more tolerant than we are to get out there in that kind of heat, it just gets to the point that it isn't fun anymore. It's amazing how a landing net...
John it was a pleasure meeting you out there, Rick maybe we can bump into each other too. Barb and I are retired, to avoid the crowds we only fish Monday thru Friday.
At this point in time, and in...
Started the short journey to Dworshak at 5:00pm Tuesday, arrived at Freeman Creek Campground around 7:00pm, the place was pretty much vacant. Checked out our reserved campsite and headed for the boat...
