Fish and game has a list on there site
Thanks rem40xb1 but the only one I know of on the F&G website is for state records. I'm looking for records for certain bodies of water. NiteHawk has the current lake record rainbow for Deadwood so there must be a place that keeps track of this info.. I'm curious what the kokanee record is for Deadwood and other lakes.
Here is the link.

Thanks campdog but that's not what I'm looking for.
Any news on deadwood? Is there still a ton of snow up there?
Still 50 inches at Deadwood Summit.
Anybody try to get in there last weekend ?
Scott
Lund Pro Sport 1600
Merc 65
Anyone make it up there yet?
I called Lohman ranger station and they said the road through cape horn was open but VERY rough with bad wash boards--The camp areas are open at deadwood
Lots of down trees & slides not safe for towing boat in.
planning 3 day trip to Curlew next tues - appr. any new reports from over the weekend - LP has been slow - sounds like its hit and miss on Koks this year?
Just to let everyone know, if you're headed up to Deadwood, beware of the road washouts due to the early run off...in pretty dry years, that road can still be a nightmare if you have a trailer/boat heading up there. Make sure you have good securing straps for your boat and gear, and anything you're pulling is going to be a huge dust ball, so invest in a boat cover too before you head up. and definitely post your results!! i have been wondering recently if the Koks up there. caught a hybrid trout up there one time that jumped before he broke me off, and i'll be darned if he wouldn't give those Henry's Lake trout a run for their money. this guy was massive...and of course no one believed me!
Is the road open from Warm Lake through Landmark and then south?
Physion
Yes. That is how I came out. There were a few drifts that weren't shoveled out very wide, but you could get through. At the drifts there was some mud, water, and a few bumps/holes, but easily passable.
Its only a matter of time before the rainbows are gone there thanks to this forum an no one throwing them back. That's not a kamloop BTW, its a Rainbow & they don't get restocked.
QUOTE=Kokedawg;59047]20# Kamloops caught in August of 2015. Can't wait to get back in 2016. The road is open at Dagger Falls but hasn't been graded so pulling the boat isn't available for me yet. The road should be graded in a few weeks.

They have been there for 20 years that I know of and people have been catching them and they are still there
Ya expect 20 years ago you didn't have the internet. Had a buddy up there this weekend lots of boats couple jet boats. In 1-2 yrs the biggest rainbow you'll see cone out of there 6-8lbs. Over fished the big guys and they aren't living long enough to grow to 10+

So who are we saving these 10 lb+ fish for--They are not that easy to catch to start with. The most I have caught in a 3 day trip is 2--I had 42 hrs trolling before I caught my first one. I don't think most people will go to deadwood and catch one of these big fish--I am more interested in the chinook myself and they are not easy to catch also in the 10lb range
Who are we saving them for??? Wow exactly why they will be gone. Some fishermen have zero clue, or a lot by reading this forum.
I threw back 20 last year so they can get bigger an we can catch them again. How many did you harvest last year remex40?

I caught 4 and kept 2 in the month of august--I saw one other big fish caught--I know of ten+ people that fish for the big fish and the keep some and put some back just like me--You keep putting all the fish back for all the clueless people--They will appreciate it
According to the fish biologist responsible for planting Kamloops in Deadwood, this fish is a Kamloops. This fish was also taken to fish & game who also confirmed it was a Kamloops. This might have been the new state record if it was a rainbow, but it wasn't.
There are plenty of them, in the lake, for a person to take one as a once in a lifetime fish.
Fishing is a wonderful pastime and I encourage more people to do it.
