    I went yesterday.

    Road was very bad. I regret going. I for sure put some wear on the trailer and boat, even driving super slow.

    Fished 4 hours, caught 1 trout.

    Thanks for the report. I was going to go later in the week....but I think I will wait for a while. I don't imagine that the weather will allow the road grater to do its thing for a while. I'm trying to remember when the guy showed up last year. Not a good sign that the Kokes were a no-show.

    I drove up yesterday morning just to check out the road and see how far up the launch was. The road was very rough in places. Good news was that the launch looked pretty clear of ice and snow.

    Default Slow for me

    I fished arrowrock today for a few hours. Pretty slow for us. Only managed a couple Caught one koke that was really nice 17 inch at 35ft on red WR 1.2mph. Everything else was 12-14... Most the people I spoke to had similar results. Did see one guys land about 15 or so, not sure what he was doing different, but he was doing better than everyone else.

    Default A few fish today

    I longlined across from the ramp and towards the dam. 7 rainbow and 3 kokanee. I used a three bladed troll with a spinner. The downrigger with a hoochie didn't produce as well so I went to two longlines. I landed two doubles. I got off the water just before a "scattered shower" hit where I was catching fish. And now I am home and dry.

    How was the road going in? I was going to go to Arrowrock this morning but decided at the last minute to fish at Lucky Peak. Big Mistake....... LP is going to be in a "rebuilding" year, much like last year. Next year things should be looking up.

    Default Road

    I have seen it a lot worse, but there were some places where I really slowed down to keep from bouncing my boat. I wouldn't mind going back in but there are definitely some places where slow is the best approach. There are also some decent stretches so it's not all bad.

    Fished today from around 8am to 3pm. Steady in the am between the dam and launch area. Mostly trout though. We ended up with 3 kokes and kept a few of the bigger trout. All fish were caught around 15-20ft on the down rigger with various colors, orange seeming to be the best as always. The fish were definitely smaller than at lucky peak and I've had better luck there in the past few weeks. Lots of boats and a beautiful day on the water. The road in wasn't terrible, but we launched at the first beach area and can't attest for the remainder of the drive in.

    fished on Saturday and really got into the fish by the dam/launch area. Lots of boats, but we still managed to whack em. 8 kokes and 9 trout. Pink apex was the hot ticket at 20-25 feet. Most of the kokes were on the 25 foot downrigger. I think speed had a lot to do with it, only getting bites at 1.8 mph. any slower and the bite really died off. It seemed that we were pulling the net a lot more than others, and we seemed to be passing everyone. I think those that didn't do as good were just going too slow.

    56 degrees water temp yesterday. Caught mostly trout and a few SM bass. One guy I passed by had a single Koker caught at 20 ft. When I went down to 20, all I brought up was a trout. Big one though. Never got him in, he broke free at boat; kind of a berserker.
