    Default Good fishing

    Monday was good fishing but breezy at time. Fish were on top. We were using 1 Oz 60 ft out and 1/2 Oz 66-70 feet out. Best bait was shoe peg corn that I had soaked with tuna fish liguid. Lake is almost full pool.

    Default IDFG Kokanee Sampling Efforts June 1-8

    Please be aware that IDFG and University of Idaho fisheries crews will be conducting kokanee surveys and research at Arrowrock and Lucky Peak reservoirs from June 1 - June 8, 2016.

    One of the survey techniques involves setting suspending gill nets in the water column. Our plan is to utilize up to 12 net sets at each reservoir. Nets will be marked with a series of highly visible buoys. Data collected from these surveys will improve fisheries monitoring and management strategies.

    PLEASE AVOID THE BUOYS AND EXPENSIVE NETS with your trolling gear. Should you have any questions please contact the regional office in Nampa at (208) 465-8465.

    Default Wednesday

    Fished from about 9:30 to 1 pm primarily in front of Spring Shores. Fishing slow for us. Wife caught a couple in the 15-16" range .. I just drove the boat. She hooked them at 20 feet down with down rigger.... a set of flashers in front of a pink hoochie tipped with corn. Didn't see a whole lot of nets out today. I tried from 10 feet to 30 feet with flashers, dodgers and various wedding rings, hoochie's in green, pink and orange.

    Default Anderson Memorial Day Weekend

    I never strayed more than 200yds from curlew boat ramp and only fished 3 to 5 hrs a day. Averaged 10 a day (not counting lost fish and missed hits). They were very picky about flasher, squid color, and even corn scent. We hooked up triples at least once per day, but they were off then on. Had to be right place at right time, and depth changed once or twice daily..I fished 3 poles on two downriggers all at slightly different depths. Caught fish everywhere from 10' ro 40'. In one 20 minute period my girlfriend hooked one at 10' seconds after I hooked up at 40'.

    Default Anderson Memorial Day Weekend

    I feel I could have caught a lot more had I not been trying to help 3 grandkids catch fish all day every day. But it was woth it to see them have fun. I tried a brass/silver troll rig with different weights and even on downrigger and never got a hit..

    What has helped my kokanee fishing the most is getting a fishfinder that allows me to see the plankton in the water and see where my line is in the water. That has helped me catch far more fish than I used to. It took me the better part of a day to find the spots where the plankton was, and after that it was just trying to keep the boat in those areas.

    I have the Humminbird 899CI. I bought it a few months ago when they dropped in price. I bought it because it works with my Ipilotlink.

    Default Going Sunday

    Will be up fishing Sunday with brothers and Father in law. I was given a couple silver #000 dodgers. Willl this size do or do I need to get something different? No down riggers. FIshing the old fashion way trolling behind the dinosaur boat. Have a pretty good assortment of tackle like wedding rings, kokabows and hoping my brother in Boise picks up some hoochies. Have and older Crestliner tri hull but it gets us on the water.
    Thanks

    I'm going to head back early Sunday. We smoked and canned the last batch. Think I want to do that again. First time canning Kokanee for me and it tastes amazing

    I fished all afternoon and evening, and this morning. Only got two bites, and didn't land any. Did catch some nice bass this afternoon.

    Fished Friday for 3 hours and picked up 2 nice Kokanee and 2 decent trout, released the trout. Fished Saturday until around 10 am and picked up 4 Kok's. 3 were nice sized and one 11" fish did not trip the release and drowned. Picked up 1 today but did not get back on the the water until 10 after I realized I left my license on my desk............

    Anyone else pay attention to the gill net retrieval Sunday? I watched as we were trolling past today and counted 18 Kokanee and 1 trout. The gulls were feasting on 2 as we pulled around.

    Fished from 6am to 4pm. Landed 2 toads, lost 3 at the boat. Seemed pink hoochs were the ticket, got a couple hits on green also. 20 feet for the first koke early in the day, dropped down to 30-35 for the second fish late in the afternoon
