Has anyone tried to go in? The turn off at cape horn still had some snow on the ground 6-11 when i drove by. I was planning on heading in next weekend.

I wish I knew... I too am interested in conditions for Deadwood. Road and fishing. If you find out anything let me know.

Thanks rem40xb1. Never went that way before. How long did it take from Cape Horn?

I am heading up to deadwood this weekend to fish for Kokanee, I have not fished them up there before, does anyone have any advice or tips for catching the kokanee at Deadwood? And report on the road condition from warm lake to Deadwood?

Thanks

How is the Landmark road into Deadwood? Anyone catching any fish? Numbers? Size?

Thank you for the info. You are right about the road. There was a boat and trailer on the side of the road when we came out and they hadn't reached the worst of it.

We did well yesterday. Not a limit but enough fish to be worth the trip. We caught three that had lost their scales and were pretty red. We won't be able to make another trip very soon so I think we will let them do their thing and we can catch their progeny another year.

There were lots of people camping but not many boats on the water. We caught most of ours about 20 feet down. Pink was the magic color. I am learning to use a downrigger but prefer to longline because I can feel when the fish start playing with the lure. We used a three blade flasher, a hoochie, and 2 ounces of weight.

Thanks for your info. It was spot on.
