More fish, less Virus in 2021.
I put my new to me boat in at Freeman Creek today just to see if it floats (it does). I also gave a half hearted attempt to catch fish for a couple hrs. I flatlined 70-120' out with arrows and pink hoochies. No bites or anything showing on the finder.
Has anyone fished Dworshak in the winter and had success? Any tips on where they might be this time of year?

Check out this post: https://www.kokaneefishingforum.com/fishing-forums/showthread.php?8617-Winter-Time-Kokanee
My experience and understanding is the fish are down around the dam til dam discharge ramps up enough to cause current then many fish instinctively move upstream. The fish are said to be small this year so small lures, hooks and baits, and a bit slower troll. Water temps are colder than they prefer, so find the warmest which today looks to be 43.7 at 10-30'. Try closer to shore too. And please post back with how you do. Curious to know fish size this year. Thx!

Thx for the good and not so good news:) Do you think the fertilizing may help substantially with the size of the super abundant Kokanee this year! Any idea as to the length of the fry last summer? Thx again!

Key statements from the article:
"They’ll be bigger than they would have been if we didn’t add nutrients."
"it’s important to remember that their growth, and ultimately size, depends a lot on how many are out there."
"What we found was, on average, kokanee were about an inch longer and two ounces heavier in years when we added nutrients. This isn’t much if you’re thinking in terms of a single fish, but it can add up. For example, for a limit of (25) averaged sized kokanee, that will amount to an extra two pounds of fillets."
"...as this nutrient restoration project has continued, the abundance of kokanee has increased. As the number of fish has gone up, the size has come back down. With the addition of nutrients, the reservoir can support many more kokanee of a given size than before."
Thanks for the winter fishing advice btw. I'll have to hit up the dam once my outboard parts come in the mail.

Every year this time of year I see them jumping all over the place in the backs of a lot of the bays. I believe the food source heads to the surface for a little warmer water when the sun is out. Might be a side planer or long line surface affair to catch them. I’d expect the size to be very disappointing, 8” probably being typical.
I ended up trying it out on 2/5. It was a nice day; sweatshirt weather. Caught 8 in 3 hours out of Canyon Crk. I lost probably another 8. The kid was doing most of the reeling. All 8-9 inches and skinny. They were jumping quite a bit, so I fished the surface. Surface temp was 42-43. I did see them at 40-50 ft at the entrance to Canyon Crk near the cliffy area, but i didn't bother fishing deep.

Thanks for the report Dorf, and glad you and the kid got some to the boat!
Looks like they are releasing 15,000 cfs right now, through the powerhouse and spillway. How is this likely to affect the kokanee?

Past discussions tend to concur that increased flow through the dam tends to kill the bite. Our experience agrees with this theory.
I caught 25 yesterday in canyon crk.

Nice! Using a carpenters tape (as opposed to a fishermen tape) how long are they? Any pics?
I didn't measure any this time, but they haven't grown since when I did measure a few in Feb. At that time, they ranged from 8" to 9". They're skinny, as expected.
It was colder and cloudier than forecasted. Surface temp was 42. Probably 50-55 air temp. Slowing my troll down to 1.0 mph seemed to increase the bite. I used brad's gold dodgers and pink paulina micro hoochies on 15" leaders all day.

You just destroyed a perfectly good theory. Good job!
Haha. There's probably something to the flow killing the bite. At least on average. I noticed it last year. That was in April though. I do know that I regret not getting out there when it's a nice day, regardless of the fishing success I expect to have.

Caught 12 today from 1130am - 330pm between Big Eddy and Canyon Creek. Had 4 rods going with wedding rings and dodgers double stacking on 2 downriggers. Marked a ton of schools between 25’ and 45’
But they were small.... probably the smallest Koke I’ve ever caught.
We felt like we should have limited out with all the schools we went through but just 12

Got this in my email today from Reel Time Fishing:
Kokanee fishing has been picking up over the last couple weeks. Toby caught 30 Kokanee one day last week. Smallmouth Bass will generally kick on around mid April.
That's all I've heard from the area besides what's on this forum page.

Hello Koke Fishermen of the Great North,
I've never tried Dworshak; just fished Kokanee in the Boise River system. Now retired, I am looking forward to a trip up there in a couple weeks. I want to do a cast-n-blast with turkey thrown in. Could someone please give me some ideas where to start? I hope to tent camp a few days along the reservoir, fish and hunt. I have a 15 ft boat with a 30 hp outboard, so I can move along fairly well. THANK YOU.
I would camp at Dent Acres. You'll have to boat a few minutes to the south end of the res for fishing.
Aside from Corps ground, there aren't really any non-private hunting opportunities near the south end of the res. And the corps ground is typically pretty steep. North of Dent acres, once you get past the private land, there is an endless expanse of State, Potlatch, and FS ground that's pretty good for turkey hunting.

Thank you Dorf, much appreciated.
Good luck this year on your home waters.
SW Idaho is pretty slow on Kokanee right now. Hoping Anderson Ranch is viable after winter releases 'er.
Only one place to launch with water levels this low looks like it will be awhile before anywhere but the dam will be useable

Get a map of the reservoir that the Corp puts out. They have all of the dispersed campsites listed on the map. Of course for a campsite with amenities you'll have to go to either Dent Acres or Freeman Creek. Like others have said the reservoir is down, so you'll have to hike through some sand/mud from the water to either camp or hunt up from the boat.
While not extremely popular, turkey hunting from a boat is a fairly common technique people do the first 2 weekends of the season. And of course hunters gravitate to the more milder terrain. That being said roosting a tom from a boat before dark with a boat can allow you to cover lots of ground. Don't overlook fishing in the morning along the shoreline until you hear one, and then changing pursuits.
If you can go during the weekdays you'll have a lot of ground to yourself. I'm not giving away any secrets here, so try Canyon creek, Freeman Creek, and Elk creek for both fish and fowl.

thanks for the info!!!
going to start at Mary's Bay on Thursday then to Canyon Creek later in the day.
Went up for a few hours last Friday.
Found some in Marys Bay, but action was slower for us so we moved. Other boats were getting them there just fine, don't know what they were using.
Moved to Indian Creek and found them. Some were schooled up, but mostly scattered. Biting on top and down to 30'+ Action was steady there and picking up, but had to head back before getting limits, don't doubt we would have if we stuck around. Smallest was 8", largest was over 11", I'd say average was almost 10"
They seemed to like pink best, but pink and yellow was a close second.

Me and my cousin are headed up to do a combo trip next weekend with kokanee fishing and turkey hunting. We have grown up in boise but have never hunted that area. Do the birds usually gobble this late in the season? I saw a fellow koke fisherman mention doing this type of trip earlier in the season and was wondering how the trip ended up!
Last week and the weeks prior, I had been getting limits in Canyon Crk. Fish were 50 - 60' deep the last two weeks, and there were a lot of them on the finder. It seemed good all the way to the dam too, but I was sticking to Canyon Crk. Yesterday there were significantly fewer fish on the finder in Canyon Crk than before. I only caught a handful and had to search for them. Surface temp was 52, which seems like an increase. Went to Drift Crk later in the day to see if I could find some, and there were a few schools that were difficult to pin down. I also took a quick look in Indian Crk and didn't see any. It was a nice day to start, but turned stormy in the afternoon.
The most notable differences to me are the amount of debris from runoff and how fast the water is rising. Lots of logs and slash, and the water is a little gray too. Anyone think this has caused the change?
My other theory is that the increased surface temp has them on the surface now. I did see them jumping on the surface a bit. However, I ran a flatline for an hour and didn't get a bite.
I'm stumped. Maybe it was just an off day.
On another note, has anyone noticed that the average fish size in canyon crk is a bit smaller than in the main channel? I feel like there's a difference.

I fished canyon creek yesterday and had one bite in a couple hours at about 10’.
Finally found a couple more at Bruce’s at 30’. By far my worst day ever, I was stumped. Very few jumpers all over the lake. My guess is they were deep but my Lowrance Elite5 is back to being a piece of crap this year.

Your post prompted checking water temps near the dam which have narrowed a lot in the last week or two with the reservoir filling rapidly. They should be living at about 25' this week and coming up in warmer temps occasionally to feed. The big change in outflow could have moved or scattered them. Anyone have experience what they do this time of year?

Got out for the first time this year and against my usual patterns, fished Canyon Cr. We fished from 8-12 Sat and Sun and caught 60 both days and lost another 40+ each day. Didn't change much either day. Fishing small cow bells with a pink squid or wedding ring on a couple and a dodger with green wedding ring on another. The Fire Corn seemed like it was a shade more popular, but the garlic corn did just fine. It took a pass and a half to figure out 2oz at 70-80' (20-25' down) was the ticket. We were hitting pockets where all 4 rods would hook up at once, which the kids loved, but as soon as you could bait and start releasing one hook, another bite would happen. There were times we had to get off the line just to have the chance to re-rig. It did seem that closer to noon, the fish moved towards the main body and started running lower than 25'. We did throw a number of them back just because of the size.

Fished Friday and Saturday. Took a bit to figure things out but fishing was decent. We had to slow our troll down to about 0.8 to 1.1 mph and we fished one to two ounces 60 to 90 feet of line. Dodgers worked best Saturday and Flash Lites on Sunday. Bronze/copper/orange early in the morning and chrome/pink latter in the morning. Didn't hit it too hard but put 60 in the cooler 8" to 10.5". Fished pretty much in and around Canyon Creek.

Fished Monday a little between Dicks Cr. and Elk Creek. Then fished the north side below Dent Bridge, better fishing below Dent Bridge. Downrigger at 33 feet with dodger and pink/white micro hootchie did by far the best. Other three rods did okay with orange/bronze early and chrome/pink later using 2 oz at 60-80 ft and dodgers or flashlites with hootchies or spinners. I forgot the corn but the fish didn't seem to mind, the Berkeley Power Maggots in pink worked great. Most fish 9"-11", fished three and a half hours and put 43 in the boat, lost some and released some small ones. Surface water temp was 62 in am and 68 in the afternoon.
What is everyone else seeing out there?

I had similar success all last week with similar gear (brad's dodgers, pink micro hoochies, diy corn) and depth directly across the channel from Freeman Crk. Trolled 1-1.2 mph.

5/30/2021 0730-3pm. Started by Big Eddy and maybe got 1. Went to Indian and got 4 or 5. Went down to the dam from there and got another 4 or 5. Ran up to between Dicks and Elk and got 10-15, but that was at mid-day heat and barely any wind. Ford Fenders and dodgers with wedding rings with corn and maggots. 2oz at 70 feet and 3oz at 40 feet got the fish.
Caught a couple limits in Canyon Creek the other day. From the surface to 40' depth.
Biggest was 9"
Only time I've ever had more bites on yellow than on pink and red. They seemed to like pop-gear this time more than dodgers, that is also new to me.
Fished Friday from Cranberry Ck upstream on the north side just over 4 hours for 50 kokes and 1 19" rainbow. Half Fast Arrow Flash and Simon Dodgers (pink)with various hoochies triple hook set up with corn and either white or pink power bait maggots 4 oz from 60-85 feet, great day!

Does ANYONE have any info on targeting larger fish? I have lucked into a school 3 times of fish 12-14" and landed a 16.5" koke. I've only found these fish in the early season and have been unable to target them repeatedly.

I've only found em April may. Then they are gone. They have to be somewhere... Wondering if people deal with this in other lakes???
Planning to head up tomorrow.
Figured I would check in here and see how far up they are right now.

From Indian creek to the head waters.
We ran from the dam up to Canyon Creek and tried there first.
Caught a few but it was slow. Tried up a little higher and even though we were marking them they didn't bite. So Back to Canyon Creek and ground it out for a few hours. Got 13. Largest few were 12" and pretty fat. They ranged down to 9"
Saw them as deep as 70', but didn't catch anything at that depth. Saw them jumping on the surface but didn't catch any on the surface either. All the bites were in the 30-45' range.
They liked the pink kokanee flies behind green and orange dodgers. Early on a pink and orange micro hoochie got a couple, but then nothing more on that.

We found scattered fish from Elk Creek up a few miles, then schools farther up. They're moving up pre spawn. Most fish are at 30'. Snooped around til we found mostly 11"+ fish. Lots of 9" fish. Limits no problem. Next years fish are very small. Hope there's adequate feed for them to put on a few inches, but with the early draw down it's doubtful.

We found nice fish in Elk Creek last Monday but the smoke put an early end to our day. We were surprised that the the eggs in the females were still immature for this late in the in the year. Sure would like to get another trip in but the heat and smoke will probably prevent that from happening.

We fished Elk Creek yesterday. The fish were scattered and the bite was slow. The fish are still bright silver, no sign of color change.

Fished between Silver and Gold Creek Sunday. Couldn't keep up with 2 downriggers. Didn't fish long, couple hours maybe but put 35 in the boat. Most fish 40 to 45 feet. Dodgers and micro hootchies at 1.1 mph. Marked tons of fish 40 to 70 feet. Fish were 9 to 11 inches with most at 10". Some just starting to blush and the eggs still skeined up but maturing.
Freeman crk ramp was clear on Saturday, in case anyone was wondering.
