    trolling

    Those are easy to use. I still have my original pair Scotty's I bought over 30yrs ago. Mine have short 12" solid rod type booms and still in working order. I used 8lb weights with these but never tried a 10lber. I got 15yrs use from them. Once I upgraded to electrics, I hung my original Scotty's...

    Winter boat storage?

    My boat is a 20' 07 Columbia I bought 6yrs ago in Everett WA. That part of the country is a salt atmosphere & damp year-round. I tackled issues as they were presented to me. Approx. 1½yrs later I decided to pull the vinyl covered wood floor to do some extensive cleaning throughout the keel &...

    Kokanee meat prep?

    My fish box is also my bleed out chamber. As with what Aaron explained I do the same. I will also remove internals leaving head attach for travel depending where I'm at. If at the Gorge I sharpen knife for filets. Then I will get the fish on ice ASAP. I fish Utah, Wyoming, & Idaho.

    1/2/22 cold day

    Glad to see someone getting some REEL time in. I have a pantry I unloaded that seem to be one of the catch all points here, a hoaders haven but just items that there was no room on the shelves for. Removed wire shelves, filling in holes, painting walls and building new shelving. My REAL time...

    Anyone have experience fishing Fremont Lake

    Met up with a friend coming from Ammon ID as I was coming out of Ogden late Oct 2017, we also met up with another friend who was from Pinedale. Fremont is a natural big lake and very deep. At that time of year we could not find fish which we were looking for some lakers. We spent 1 day there...

    Montana blades

    I would be apt to try anything after the dismal season we had here with kokanee. The bite became harder as the summer came on even when trolling thru schools. The only deterrence I see with using this item would be changing the dodger action and maybe that would depend on what size & shape the...

    11/27 & 28

    Nicely done Aaron, Its always nice getting into fish and having a calm surface at the Gorge. Weather sure teased us in October making us think it was going to be a long winter. But not much in November squelched that thought. I've been able to get a couple of trips locally recently.

    Thanks for the report, the Gorge has cooled off itself this year fishing. The last trip I made I came home empty handed. I'm pretty much done with the koke season and the closure is coming in on us.

    Slow trolling - time to transition to jigging??

    There are a lot of fellas jigging but most don't talk about it. For those that do its mostly talking about lakers or cutts. I'm not one who jigs but trolls mainly. I fish mostly Strawberry with some early season fishing at Jordanelle, do get occasional day trips to the Gorge. I started fishing...

    How has Kokanee been impacted in your state?

    Also want to add that I've caught a few of the 3lb class of kokes but not a whole lot, mostly what was caught 2yr fish. With that said it was getting hard to find those larger kokes let alone finishing out the season with not many spawners, instead I started seeing more dinks. I suspect with the...

    How has Kokanee been impacted in your state?

    Ever since COVID hit in 2020 there has been more boaters out fishing in all lakes not counting the other recreational users. Koke fishing has been hammered hard at both Flaming Gorge 3hrs & Strawberry 2hrs making those long drives for me seem longer. A lot of folks has enjoyed the time away from...

    Berry Slim 8-04-2021

    This year has been tough at Strawberry, I made the trip to enjoy a beautiful day out on the Berry only to catch those nagging cutts. If it wasn't for them it would be skunkville. AFDan was partnered with me this day and we threw anything and all we could to entice the taking. I did hook up with...

    Flaming Gorge trip report.

    Tough kokanee bite seems to be the norm no matter what lake you fish this year. The Gorge hasn't treated me too good this year coming home with 1 or sometimes 2 fish a trip. As far as boat traffic it shows sign of a hammering in place. Most of my trips have been to Strawberry yielding same...

    Different Anode Alloys

    Do you know the type of anodes used on your outdrives, outboards, boat hulls or propeller shafts? Mine came with zincs since its primary fishing was salt water before, which is recommended in those conditions and I have replaced them with new. My propeller trim tab was completely worn down to a...
