    Fished today from 9 M til 2 PM. 3 bites, boated 3kok in 1.5 hrs. After 10:30 AM there was no bite. Those 3 fish I caught with DR, one at 23" other 2 at 35'. Talk to other fishermen they caught 2 kok. in 6 hrs.

    Starting to see a solid pattern now at LP. Having consistent action even when the armada isn't around springs shores and the first skinny spot towards the LP dam. Simple neon/green/body with small hammer silver blade wedding ring 22" behind a small four blade silver/orange flasher (smaller flashers are out performing larger right now) in the early am or clouded cover DR sets 12ft to 20ft. By 9am on a sunny day you had better moved to an orange neon body or your just fishing instead of catching. (1.8mph ish..but standard lots of change in speed if it doesn't happen in a pass over a good spot)

    Mostly tipping with a single shoepeg soaked in the blue herring giz. Also note that even though everyone who fishes kokes knows you can't use yellow corn I've found at least 30 LP kokes that don't care whether it's yellow or white.

    Used to pretty much live by the pink hoochie or micro hoochie behind a silver dodger but the old school wedding ring behind a bladed flasher has been 10 time more productive at LP for my boat.

    Im running two poles with entirely different set ups, and Im catching about the same amount of fish on each one (give or take a few). On one rod i have a pink small dodger with a pink hootchie and pink corn with shrimp oil. On other rod I have a watermellon flasher with an orange wedding ring. I catch slightly more on the orange. My buddy was using a green dodger on one, and red on another. I caught 5 to his one.. I caught them from 16 to 28 ft, depending on where I was in the reservoir. Caught most of my fish in about a three hundred square yard area, which was nowhere near the armada of boats I saw in other spots..

    Fish today (July 4th) at LP. We caught our Kokanee limit in 5.5 hrs. The reservoir was busy with all kind of boats, there were few fishing boats scattered from the dam to Goose Neck Bay. Fishing was good. We trolled from Piperline Creek to Goose Neck bay. DR from 15' ~ 25' deep. Copper dodger + pink squid + shoepeg corn + scent.
    Seagull had their share when we cleaned the fish, after the meal they kept follow our boat for a while.

    Default July 4th

    Started at 6 am July 4th. Tried for them from 15 to 30 feet deep. Not a thing tell we finally dropped to 40 and 50 feet. Then it got pretty good. Caught my biggest so far a 20" (no scale sorry) Long lines where 70' back 4 oz of lead Kokabow Water mellon dodger and green spiner. Pink hoochie works good to with gold and silver dodger. Down Rigger same stuff. Depth was the key.

    Hey All.
    Heading for Dwarshak end of July. Going to be a few days with just the 12 year old grandson. Was told that Dwarshak has camp grounds scattered around the lake accessible only by boat. Thought maybe we'd take a camp with us and live on the shore for a few days. Are the campgrounds easy to spot from the lake? Is there enough water to keep us from lugging gear way up? Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!

    Check out this site for mini camp and contact info.They should be able to tell you water levels and may have lake maps with mini camp locations. http://www.nww.usace.army.mil/Missio...ir/Mini-Camps/

    fished Wednesday evening and from 6 am to 1030 on Thursday. NOTHING...... 1 take down. We saw 1 pike minnow get what it deserved. and saw 1 other net go out and net 1 fish.
    Marking fish from 9 feet to 60. The 10 boats fishing this morning were at lime creek fishing towards Curlew.
    We fished the pine camp ground side from lime creek down to Pine campground.
    water temp Wednesday was 73 to 74 Thursday morning 71. fished pinks, greens, and oranges, dodgers, flashers. Everyone I spoke with said the same thing. SLOW!!!!!! but fish are bigger. less fish....

    Thanks Icelander.
    That was a great link. Printed off a couple good maps of the mini camps and got the phone numbers to check water levels later in the month. Last summer we fished Deadwood late in July and the fish were just starting to turn pink and were really hungry. Hoping to hit something like that in Dworshak. The grandson loves the catching and I like the eating so hoping we get enough to freeze some and fill up the smoker. Thanks again!

    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 25'-30' or more, the best time for the boat in campsites is near full pool, the shoreline will be wet, and muddy in some places.

    I fished the marina this morning. Caught 5 kokanee. 2oz weight 50-135 ft of line. I also bagged my first lucky peak chinook! Here is a picture of the beast.

    Spent fourth of July in dworshak, had a great time. Came home with a pile of fish, really couldn't find a bad spot. Had the best luck with trolls and running two watermelon dodgers together with pink hoochies. Hung out mostly elk creek, cranberry creek, and the point coming off canyon creek.

    Default Limits

    Went to LP yesterday morning and had a double on within the first 5 minutes and lost both. Reset and had another double within 5 minutes and laded both. By 10 am I boated 6 and lost 5....

    July 2016 is becoming like May 2015 for me with the exception of the fish are larger this year. Fishing 7-13 ft early and 13-18 ft latter in the morning.
