lp still kicking out a few I got two kok's, two rainbow, and two chinook yesterday. I caught fish opposite the north end of the nursery, near Birch Ck, and near Gooseneck. Just a fish here and there. My record book from last year shows good fishing during the fall. Some limits were caught...

A limit I just got back from Lucky Peak. I got five nice kokanee in an hour and a half. It took me another hour and 15 minutes to get the last fish. All were caught near Spring Shores. I used my three bladed silver trolls with pink spinners and shoe peg corn with no scent. One line was 75...

Rainbow A number of years back (1987) I got a 5.25 lb, 22 inch rainbow on the south side of the mouth of Lime Ck. I caught lots of trout in the 80's. Not many recently.

docks and fish The docks are still out at Curlew and will probably not be put in this year. And we still get to pay. On a better note, I went yesterday, Tuesday, and did well. Tight lines!

bills for wiggle hoochies Kokanee Tackle, one of the supporters of this forum, carries the bills.

snubbers I still use them and make my own. This year I am trying a new material-essentially mini bungee cord with loops. I'm anxious to see how durable and effective they are compared to the traditional surgical tubing snubbers. Even with a limber rod, I think I lose fewer kokanee when I use...

finally a limit I got my limit today in about 3 hours. Three bladed troll, spinner, 100 feet of line, no weight. The wind was miserable until about 11:30. I was done just a bit after noon. I fished between the dam and Pipeline Gulch. Fall fishing has been much more productive for me than...

Scent You can find 35mm film containers on line. The ones I ordered had both the containers and the caps. I put in some shoepeg corn, the scent, let sit in the refrigerator for a day or two, and then freeze. When I go fishing, I just take a container of scented corn out of the freezer. You...

Turner A lot of people park on the sand beside the ramp. I don't think it's a good idea to park right on the ramp itself because it hinders others trying to access the dock. Ada county did some work around the dock today-they moved a lot of sand. When I left, the dock was usable on both...

Turner I put in at Turner by myself last week. There was a short push dock at the end of the ramp that had room for one boat at a time. Just be patient. Physion

spring shores I used the ramp on Monday. There is no dock to use, but there is still concrete for your truck and boat trailer. I put in some hip waders to load up when I'm done. Physion

spinner and troll Below is a picture of a troll, spinner, and fly that I make. I was using the troll and spinner yesterday.

Finally I finally brought home a limit of kokanee today. My first of the season. I know, I'm a little slow. I could catch 1 or 2 or 3 or maybe 4, but not a limit. Finally today!!! Most of the fish today were caught near the surface in the Gooseneck Bay area. I used a three-bladed silver...

Map Next time you launch at Spring Shores, go into the office at the right side of the restrooms (store, restrooms, office). On the counter is a pad of maps for the reservoir. The maps show the currently used names of places on the reservoir. The big bay with the buoys is now called...

confused I'm a bit confused. I don't understand why it is acceptable to take a big buck but not a big fish. I've kept some big fish and released some big fish. I've taken pictures of big game, and let them walk away. I have no problem with someone who legally kills a buck and puts it on the...

I've never taken the Scott Mountain road. I've been told by some that it's not a good idea, and I've believed them. We have a travel trailer in the Donnelly area, so the Warm Lake route is reasonable. I have also gone in from the Lowman-Stanley road. If I were traveling from home I would...

road, camping, and fishing I took my 14 foot boat in on a trailer last Tuesday. The road was typical Deadwood. Rough, but ok if you go slowly. There are 25 miles of dirt road. I went in through Warm Lake and Landmark. You do have to watch out for a few who feel as if they own the road and...

not much luck either My wife and I fished Anderson today, 6/14. She got a nice kokanee relatively quickly off Curlew. We got a few more taps, the wind came up, and we didn't get another hit the rest of the day. I probably won't make the long trip again this year. Seems like kokanee are...

roads Is the road open from Warm Lake through Landmark and then south? Physion

I fished for years out of a 17 foot canoe with a side mounted trolling motor. I caught lots of fish. A couple words of caution for you: 1) tie all your equipment into the canoe, 2) consider making or buying a set of outriggers. I tied things into the canoe so that if I did capsize (never...
