I boated 8 and kept 4 both yesterday and today. All were caught shallow. I lost quite a few today. That wasn't a problem yesterday. All were in sight of Spring Shores. Physion

Kokanee or trout in the boat? Just wondering. Physion

I haven't been out for three weeks. Arrowrock or Lucky Peak this weekend? I really need to catch a fish or two. Suggestions from recent trips? Physion

I did well during March and April last year. I didn't do very well the first part of May. I'm not sure how that compares with the reservoir level changes or with the runoff from snow melt. Physion

I keep date, body of water, where on that body of water, fish caught, fishing partner, and an occasional personal note. I now have all of that in a spread sheet. I can sort according to the different headings and look at patterns of when and where I've caught fish, or not. I have not kept...

The state park pass will get you in at Spring Shores but not at Turner. I don't know if they have put up the fee box at Turner. I haven't been able to go up for a while and am also curious about where to try. I hope for a short trip on Saturday morning. Physion

Just an fyi. The parking lot at Spring Shores will be used Saturday, Apr. 16, for the Robie Creek race. Launch at Turner if you can tolerate the congestion. Physion

The clip-on line counters I have were made by Shakespeare. Amazon says they are out of stock and may not get more. The one shown by Amazon and made by Berkley looks the same as my Shakespeare model. I have only used the one kind so I don't know how they compare with others. I'm happy with...

I use a separate line counter because they are more accurate. My wife might suggest I'm a bit picky. The counters on the reels count revolutions of the spool so the amount of line out depends on how full the spool is. However, if all you want to do is go back to the same distance, the counter...

We got ours on Saturday using a #1 purple pro-troll (like an apex) behind a 3-bladed troll that I make. We were also fishing very shallow. Physion

I'd like to try the 2.5" Koko Mag-White (glow) & UV Pink and a 2.5" Koko Mag-White (glow) & Purple. Physion

I started longlining with a dodger on one set up and my usual troll on the other. I got one fish very shallow on my usual troll. After going fishless for a time I put on some weight and was fairly productive with my usual three-blade troll and a spinner. All four kokanee were 14 inches...

I launched yesterday, Mar 17, at the Spring Shores marina. A bit of dock was in the water. I got 4 kokanee and a rainbow. Not a bad day with the water rising as fast as it is. Physion

I've used Procure's "kokanee special" or "predator" oil scents. Sometimes one is more effective than the other. Yesterday I put one kernel of each on the hook. I put some shoepeg corn in a plastic film cannister (the old 35 mm film containers), add some scent, let it soak for awhile, and then...

I think so. You might contact Chris directly for details. He responded very quickly to an email sent through the Kokanee Tackle website. Physion

I heard that Kokanee Tackle in Boise is again open for walk in sales. It's true! The new owner, Chris, is a long time friend of the previous owner. My wife and I went in today and were treated well. I spent about twice as much as I had intended. Good customer service provides two way...

The only trout I routinely keep are the ones that are too injured to survive. The rest go back to swim another day. Kokanee taste so much better! Physion

How often have all three reservoirs been filled in the last few years? Even if it were a good idea (and I don't think it is), there may not be enough winter precipitation to justify the expense of building additional capacity.
