recovered boat Great news. I am happy for you. Tight lines!! Physion

Trip on 4/22 I fished from Curlew to Lime Ck today. Great day on the water. But, only boated two kokanee, lost one, and broke a rod. Still, a good day. Beats working.

The narrows I will admit some ignorance. I have fished Anderson quite a bit, mostly from Curlew down reservoir, but don't know which region is referred to as "The Narrows." Can someone help me out?

Area and depth? Any hints about which part of Anderson and depth?

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.

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...

Curlew Nice! Has anyone checked out the Curlew ramp recently? Physion

Lucky Peak launch Are you launching at Turner or Spring Shores? Thank you.

deadwood limit Part of the justification listed earlier this fall is the need for eggs for the hatcheries so fish can be planted in Lucky Peak, etc. The last two years have been a bit scant, so the Lucky Peak fishery was supplemented using late spawners from another source. I think the early...

boat launch There is a crude boat launch at the campground at the south end of the reservoir. No dock is available. I have seen it but not used it. Most people launch off the bank where the river comes in at the north end of the reservoir. Check the road conditions before you try to go in...

Just an fyi, the kokanee limit on Deadwood is now 15.

tube flies and hoochie spacer These are my tube flies. The tubes are made from coffee stirrers. I use a candle to flare one end of the tube as shown in the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OADEG4ZzZDw. Then, the tube is cut to the needed size. The bottom end is not flared...

local area I think Cascade is a better fishery than Payette. Payette used to have good kokanee, but that is long gone. Cascade has rainbow, perch, bass, and a few kokanee. Horsethief, east of Cascade, had good rainbow and kokanee last summer. Warm Lake has both rainbow and kokanee but the...

The season is just about over for me. When I need gloves to keep my hands warm it is time to start making lures for next year. I am going to add to my stock of home made tube flies so I don't have to make one in a hurry next summer. I also want to add to my dodger/sling blade collection. I...

Kokanee meat Thank you for your research and your update. Both my wife and I thought the lighter color meat did taste a little milder, but that may vary depending on who is making the comparison. Again, Thank you for the info. Physion

Maybe the last trip of the year? Color of kokanee meat? I fished between Charcoal Gulch and Gooseneck for most of today. After the wind calmed down, I got one rainbow between 20 and 25 feet deep. I noticed some "boils" on the surface so then I tried trolling shallow. I got one more rainbow...

meat color See my post in Lucky Peak about the color of the kokanee meat.

white meat kokanee A friend of mine caught some kokanee with white meat out of Horsethief while ice fishing last winter. They were also darker skinned than normal. Do some kokanee survive a while after spawning? I, too, am puzzled.

Lucky Peak doesn't live up to its name I fished for a few hours today and got 5 rainbows. No kokanee. I launched at Turner and fished towards Pipeline Gulch. The trout were nice fish, but not what I was looking for.

Thank you 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...
