Anderson About a week ago.
Went near the dam and trolled wedding rings and hoochies with corn. Caught one really big bull trout and lost one what I believe to be kokanee. Water temp was around 49. The water was at a decent level to launch the boat, but man I hate that windee blind narrow ramp and the stupid crooked dock, shouldn't complain since there is no fee.

Anderson 5/25-28
Fished Friday afternoon boated 10-15 but only 1 keeper in the bunch.Caught 30-40 on Saturday any where from 5"-15 1/2" only kept the ones over 12 inches. Fished again on Sunday caught another 20-30 with a lot of throw backs. In 3 1/2 days of fishing I only boated 23 keepers. All fish were caught 30'-40' deep on the downriggers. Went out today trolling the shorline with planer boards for bass and still caught a couple of small kokes on jointed Shad Raps. Surface temps ranged from 58-61 today when the sun finally came out. All fish were caught in the Curlew/Lime Creek area of the reservoir. I hope the bigger ones show up soon or all these little guys got a whole lot of growing to do over the the next couple of months.

Fished Anderson this last week. Came home with 64 2 days fishing. Have been canning since. Looks like it will be a good year! Caught 6 over 15". Was really after the little guys for canning. Caught 2 Bulls and 1 rainbow. Downriggers (38 to 55 ft) and lead (5 colors). Pink hoochies. Best lure of the day was fire Apex with double hook baited with ????? Great days of fishing ...Lake was beautful

I have been aching to go. Kicker has a bad seal and the shop has it. Yes....slow motion this time of year! We were thinking about taking the little boat tomorrow. My past thread talked about the fishing being great! I would guess it would be the same.
Brined, Smoked and Canned all we caught. Abosolutly fansastic! Keep us posted on your trip. Remember to bring fire Apex! May see you there
Good Luck

Fished yesterday, 6:30am to 12:00 & 4:00-630pm. First session caught eleven, second session caught four.
50'-55' deep am, 30' deep pm ...go figure!
Twelve between 10"-13", largest 17".
Water temp was 67.8 degrees on the surface and 60 degrees @ 60'. Did not fish any deeper but suspect they are deeper as they should like 50-55 degrees???? Talked to friends fishing Curlew to Lime Creek ...one per day, not so good.

Poor Day @ Anderson
Fished Anderson today & 7 hours of trolling only produced 4 dinks & 4 misses. Started trolling across from Curlew this morning at 9:30 & never had a strike or fish until 2:30. All fish caught were between 30 & 40 feet deep. Today I could not buy a bite on a hootchie, the fish I did catch came on both green & red Apex lures fished behind sling blades.

Fished Saturday evening using dodgers and hoochies. One nibble at 30 ft but watched other boats net all night. After a nice breafast, we hit it again Sunday morning. I switched everything to various pop gear and wedding rings, dropped everything to the 40 feet range and picked up 10 in 2 hours lost at least the same number. Fish are pan frying size.
We had 3 double hookups. (only one ended with 2 fish in the boat). Then the wind showed up and we bagged fishing for the day. We should have cooked on the boat and started fishing earlier...
Slow trolling tight figure 8's. Nailed them all about the same spot.
Worm, Fire Corn and shrimp oil. Probably would have been fine with the fire corn alone. Just south of Curlew.
Awesome camp spots were open right by the Parking area last night when we left. I wish I could take a few days this week to stock up.

Thanks for the fishing info at Anderson. Finially got my boat back from the shop. Go figure, we are now headed for the N. Calif./S.Oregon coast for Salmon fishing.
I guess the Kokes will have to wait until after the 4th of July. Need to get more smoked and canned. Boy they go quick!
Good Luck All!

I used a 5oz banana to get my pop gear down 40 ft. and trolled real slow tight turns.
