--Give up.. they will come right into our house if the screen is open so don't think they are afraid. --I fenced off a portion of the yard for plants and just wrote off the rest. --After a couple of months two deer managed to get into the fenced area and within a few minutes ate most of the plants.

--fished Monte lk north of Vernon on the weekend... only boat on the lake and stormy. This lake has been stocked with triploid kokanee however we did see some spawn phase cruising the shoreline. I though maybe as triploid we could still catch some biting fish. --not many lakes as yet stocked...

-for sure if you are catching spawners I would wait a few weeks and if no ice start again. -I dont fish near shore or obvious staging areas for spawn inlets. --One of the reasons to fish this time of year is if you get no wind, calm clear water.. not ideal for fishing but great for viewing...

--its your duty as a koke fisher to fish now... I'm on my way today. --late fall winter is favourite feed time for large trout.. usually over 5 lbs that feed on kokanee. --I know some don't like the word trout on here but I use a spawn coloured kokanee wooden plug to reduce the competition...

--if the river is open.. ours aren't... they will bite.. you just won't get as many as those snagging. --the bite seems to turn on and off... can cast through and bounce off fish with no reaction then they turn on for 20 minutes or so and several but not all the fish in the run will attack the...

--yes to all fun to play with for different actions.. alghough we don't use the double hook rig much do to regulations in many lakes for single barbless --for different action and colours try the small lyman lures... these are wooden so different movement and they don't use the hole they use a...

-due to seasonally high water approx 1000 sockeye have returned to skaha lk. -they cannot usually acess skaha due to a flood control dam which has been in place for many years. --While the sockeye salmon run this year isn’t expect to be as strong as the huge return last year, it’s still expected...

--What's in the guts? --Anyone have pictures or good evidence of kokanee diet? --Recently have had two reports... no pictures of kokanee that had small fish fry in their guts. --I realize this may not be the usual case but I think Kokanee are opportunistic feeders and will switch to whatever...

--Is no one fishing in BC? --Would be nice to see some reports here on this season and thought for next.

-only a few small kokanee this year out of skaha for me.. they should be spawning soon so don't expect much size wise but expect to get a few days in. --Osoyoos had a short sockeye opening... these may have access to skaha in a few years so might get a late summer salmon fishery. --I hope its...
