Since Odell is open year round was wondering if anyone has any early reports
Since Odell is open year round was wondering if anyone has any early reports
The lake being at 5000 ft there has been tons of snow this year, I just called twin lake resort for reservations for Wickiup was informed 4/5 ft of snow only way in is snowmobile. Entrance into Wickiup might be in question for late April opener. ODELL'sPrince creek camp grounds, Sunset campgrounds are never plowed so unless they plow the resort there can't be much going on.
Went to Odell Sat the 29th was hard to find the fish finally located some schools near the slide that were bitters came home with 19 not bad for a day trip for two people lost about 5 or 6 great weather
Thanks for the heads up/ just going to be a little later season,Wickiup is at a crawl also need so higher Water temp.
Went to Odell 5/20 holy morning bites great jigging had 25 for two people by 630 bite was really short for not having much sunlight kinda weird but that's Kokanee for you used 1/2 ounce jigs casting and retrieving didn't have time to put corn on great day finished with 44 at around noon I guess it's true what they say you snooze you lose going back for memorial day weekend hope the fishing will be the same I am going to fish with people who have never jigged before ohh man are they in for a great time
Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum. I'm having a big family trip to Odell next weekend for four days. Haven't been since last summer would appreciate any info on what's going on up there. Is jigging still good? Any size or color that's been working? Anything to George odds. Thanks in advance for any info.

Went to Odell on the 21st started out jigging and ended up trolling left with 32 had a great time fished with people who have never been Kokanee fishing before fish are still only 11 - 12 inches about the same size when we went on memorial day weekend not sure what is going on I hope it doesn't have anything to do with the parasites that I am finding in the gillplates of every fish caught will take some fish heads to ODFW in Adair village Monday or Tuesday next week and find out has anyone else seen this before maybe on the fish but actually in the gillplates
Great to hear you had a successful trip./ I shot up a week prior, We tried jigging( no shortage of fsh),just wouldn't bite. Trolled and put 12 in the Boat. About the same next day. The algie bloom I think had the Fsh off the bite. We stayed at Prince creek campground. The mosquitoes were so bad we left early. Good to hear you had a great trip. Sure isn't a shortage of Fsh.
Saweeeeeeeeet report! Looks like the lake is still fishing well. Many other lakes have closed access and huge fines for trying to launch. Hope it's all open soon!
