I had a great day of fishing on Friday with Chukar Dave (I'll let him share our success if he wishes to). I took a buddy of mine up yesterday and ended up with 18 nice kokanee. 2-3 were over 18...
I boated 6 on the opener and fished the Sunday following and we hooked on fish just after day break and that was it for the day. My neighbor went out yesterday, they started at 7 am and they were...
Spoons -
I wrote to the ODFW biologist and as a scientist I asked a number of hard questions about how this decision was made what studies were conducted etc. What I got back was not much of a...
I hear you toolman... I've asked the biologist in Bend to provide me with the exact situation with the frog and how that directly correlates to the kokanee and trout populations at Wickiup. This all...
Mr. Mike the rumors are true. ODFW will be imposing a 5 five limit on Wickiup, I share your dismay/frustration and do not understand the rational any either. I've been fishing Wickiup for 10 plus...
DLM, I fished the confluence for one pass with not hits and the water temp was 66. I spent the rest of the morning on the Davis arm and the water temp over the course of the day. When I left the...
I fished Saturday with my buddy Todd. We started on the Deschutes and fished the stretch to the confluence - not a bite. So I pulled up stakes and we headed up the Davis arm and we netted 8 fish. ...
Downriggeral and "get the net" I live in Bend, OR and fish Wickiup religiously once the season opens (not until the 22nd of April). I've been looking to find another location to catch good sized...
Thanks Cowboy for the information about KPO, I'll be sure to report appropriately. On the frog thing I had read about that in the Bulletin, I hadn't put 2 and 2 together as far as any possible...
So I know that this space is meant for updates on how fishing is going etc. at Wickiup, but since the opener is a bit off... I'd like to ask another broad question. I was talking with a friend of...
Just a general question to those who follow this thread but does anyone understand why opening day this year is a Friday (April 22nd) and not Saturday. I've heard it rumored that ODFW has decided to...
So this past weekend I had the opportunity to fish both days and learned a valuable lesson at the same time. I put two really nice fish on the boat on Saturday both were just under 2 lbs a piece. I...
yes I did my mistake sorry about that
Here's my second attempt to post a picture of the 22 we boated on the opener....

Here's a picture of the 22 we boated on Saturday... And for the record I'll second what Fallriverguy says above, Dave has offered to take me on his boat and he has never steered me wrong....

Toolman and Dave I had the experience. Saturday we netted 22 and one was right at 22 lbs, three others were right at 1 lbs 15oz. I did the same thing Dave was doing long-lining on the top and then...
Dave I nearly had a heart attack when I read the first half of what you just posted. I had to read it three times before it sank in and the stunned expression was gone from my face. I wish the...
According to the reclamation site: http://www.usbr.gov/pn/hydromet/destea.html
Wickiup is at 99% of pool, let's pray that it stays that way. Any concerns about how warm it is so early and what...
Dave -
Congratulations I would love to have a day on Wickiup where I limit out. The best I've done was a day where my buddy and I had 32 between the two of us. You clearly have the Midas touch...
This is going to be my first tournament any super secret lures you'd recommend... :-)
I have a Lowrance HDS 5 gen 1 fish finder/chartplotter on my boat today. The head unit is dash mounted but I spend 95% of my time in the back of the boat fishing and am constantly walking back and...
I took my wife and kids out yesterday (fun way to spend Mother's day) and the water was calm, the sun came out it was a very easy day on the water. The bite for me was very slow; seven hours of...
So I'm taking the day off and planning to get back out on the water tomorrow. Opening weekend I was fishing Paulina Peak Big Eye dodgers (silver) and Pauline Peak micro hoochies (orange)...
Fallriverguy - nice haul, we were only able to eek out 4 on Sunday we fished the same area generally speaking the same tackle etc.
