road and fishing How is the Landmark road into Deadwood? Anyone catching any fish? Numbers? Size?

downrigger? Up until the last two years I fished exclusively with a long line, weights, a gang troll, and a spinner or other lure. I brought home lots of kokanee. Anderson Ranch has usually been good to me until some time in July. I fish mostly in the upper part near Curlew and Lime Creek...

Road How is the road in? Last time I went it was full of potholes. Physion

Pine ramp and dock Thank you for the info. I was hoping for a dock for my fishing partner, but Pine doesn't sound like a good option right now. I think I'll use Curlew. At least it has a good ramp. Physion

Launch at Pine? I have never launched at Pine. Is there a good dock in the water? Is it a good ramp? How about parking or a parking fee? How far or how much time to travel from Curlew to the Pine ramp? Thank you for the info. Physion

Credit cards, ,money rebated, and interest Dubob's arithmetic looks good as long as you pay off your card every month. If you carry a balance, it is possible to end up paying more for interest charges than what you get back in some form of rebate. We try to pay our cards off every month, but...

Water level I use this site to track water levels on Lucky Peak. You can also get to other reservoirs from this site. https://www.usbr.gov/pn/hydromet/ramps/ramp_graph.html?cbtt=LUC&pcode=FB&title=Lucky%20Peak%20Reservoir&ylabel=Reservoir%20Elevation If the site is correct, Lucky Peak has...

great boat ride, great fishing, catching not so much I launched at Spring Shores, had a slow boat ride for about 4 hours, and decided to come home. Not a single tap. I fished east of the ramp and then went back down the reservoir a little beyond the heli pad.

fishing saturday I hope to go tomorrow. I haven't decided between Lucky Peak and Arrowrock. Recent reports from Arrowrock have not been encouraging and there aren't any recent reports from Lucky Peak. Thoughts or great words of wisdom? I would prefer not to get skunked on my first trip out...

spinner I am attaching one of my latest spinners. I make these in several colors. The hooks are Eagle Claw #6 LazerSharp Octopus hooks. I know others use larger hooks. Part of the fun is experimenting to see what works best for you. Enjoy.

blades I use #2 Indiana blades for all of my spinners. I use some beads and a tube fly behind the blade. They seem to work well. I have not tried Colorado blades on my homemade spinners, so I can't make a comparison. The Indiana blades spin closer to the axis. Colorado blades give off a...

Ok, I'll admit some lack of knowledge. What are LDR's & SDR's? The equivalent of my long line release? I claim I can tell whether a fish will taste good while it's still on the line. If it won't taste good, it gets the long line release. There is no data to oppose my claim. Just sayin'.

I release a fair number of fish also. I examine and watch them carefully to make sure they are ok. If I am releasing I try not to even take them out of the water. My wife and I can only eat so many. I even share some fish with friends or older people (at least older than me) who like fish...

I was looking at a catalog today and noticed some walleye rigs that had a treble hook followed by a single hook. Has anyone ever tried that with a hoochie? I have occasionally used a small treble on a traditional wedding ring spinner when the fish were hitting but not staying on. Sometimes...

information anyfishanytime, You might want to keep in mind that we are fishermen. Some of what we say might actually be true!?!?!? Are all fishermen liars or are all liars fishermen? Speaking only for myself, of course. Anyway, many of us are willing to share, especially one on one. It...

personal message Hi, anyfishanytime, I sent you a personal message a day or two ago. You can look at the very top of the sign in page for notifications. I asked you a couple questions you may not want to put on the general forum. I asked where you live and suggested the possibility we might...

not me I spent the day working on tackle and doing some other chores. Every time I went outside I had thoughts of fishing. I hoped the weather would cooperate for you, but I decided to stay home. No wind was nice. Even a little breeze off the water can make it feel very cold. Will we see...

report A great weather day considering it was Nov. 30. I kept 3 kokanee and released 5 rainbow. I got some in Nibbler Ck bay and some at the confluence. I ended up doing better with my three bladed flasher, a spinner, 100 ft of line, and no weight. When I got out another brave fisherman had...

I give up Ok, I give up. Only 2 trout today. I can't go on Friday, so I'm going to dig out my downrigger and try again tomorrow. Pauli and Fish4kok have tempted me beyond what I can resist. The wind report is good for tomorrow, too. Physion

lp report Hi, Pauli, I was told by an HP employee that a group of HP windsurfers maintain the Barclay Bay weather site. I check it whenever I am planning a trip to LP. It's a great site. For your creel question, I fished Wednesday before Thanksgiving and got 1 kokanee and a 16 inch rainbow...
