    Slaughter Zone

    I live an hour from Rifle, CO and used to travel quite often on that route to Meeker when I was guiding up there. There are more dead animals on that stretch of highway than anywhere I've ever seen. I know several people who have totaled their vehicles on that road and a co-worker and his son...

    Economy impact?

    My spending was down a little this year, but not much. I figured I saved a little money with fuel prices being almost half what they were Summer 2008. Unfortunately, I have almost $600 in repairs that need to go into the boat next spring before I can even use it. That kills the tackle budget...

    Koke reel

    I have 2 100's, but they are a little small. I think the 150's would be just right. I love them though, they are smooth and have a great drag system.

    Flaming Gorge Contacts

    Showers would be great. I wish they would increase the length of the campsites, they are way too short. I don't think there are hardly any that can fit a truck and trailer without unhitching the trailer. It is a real pain when you have hook-up and unhook the boat morning and night to put it...

    Blue Mesa Jiggin kokes

    Great job bobco thumbsup I was going to go down last week, but my friend had to leave town unexpectedly and my boat still isn't fixed from my last trip. It is a lot like bumper boats this time of year at Blue and can get dangerous with guys not paying attention to other boats. I've seen...

    Blue Mesa Reservoir

    I haven't been down, but a few friends have and they have been doing great. I still have to do some repairs to the boat from the last trip and haven't had the time to go either. crymeariver

    Blue Mesa Reservoir

    The time to be there is now. The fishing has been really good for the last couple of weeks and the kokes are getting closer to moving up the river to their spawning area.

    Scotty Hoochie Devil Butterfly

    I have both the Crystal Basin and the Shasta Tackle pee wee uv wiggle hoochie versions. We used them at Flaming Gorge this year and they worked great. They have a great action to them on a short leader.

    Long Weekend due to Trailer Problems

    I always thought about carrying extra sets of bearings and grease, but didn't want to think about the hassle. I always have lots of tools with the hope of never using them. I am now going to be carrying that stuff because you never know where you're going to be when things start breaking. I...

    Long Weekend due to Trailer Problems

    We had a great time with the kids (4 of them) fishing for perch. We caught almost 200 in a couple afternoons. We wanted to troll for trout, but the kids were having so much fun we just stuck with the perch.

    Long Weekend due to Trailer Problems

    I left last Friday morning to meet a friend at Fish Lake in Utah - about 260 miles from where I live. I had gone about 200 miles before stopping to let my boy run around a little bit and I checked on the boat and trailer. Everything looked good and we traveled on. I stopped about 10 miles...

    Removing Dock Rash

    I use the Mr Clean eraser pads to clean my boat all the time. They remove stains quite easily and are relatively cheap. I recently had to fix my kicker motor and it left huge black stains on my boat from the exhaust being cleaned out. I left it for a couple of weeks before I got around to...

    Dealing with Great Fishing Let Down?

    This weekend I was going to meet a buddy in sourthern Utah to fish for trout and he said the locals told him not to bother coming. I guess the water in the lake is so warm that the fish have developed spots on them this year and their meat is really mushy. That doesn't sound very tasty, so we...

    Dealing with Great Fishing Let Down?

    My father spent 4 years in Alaska in the military in the late '60s and early '70s. He did so much fishing and caught so many great fish that he doesn't get excited about fishing much. Kokanee fishing at the Gorge doesn't excite him and the only way we can get him to go is by promising to fish...

    Strawberry on 7/12

    Good to hear the kokanee fishing is picking up at Strawberry. I know a few guys who have fished it with very little success so far and they will be glad to know it is getting better.

    Happy Birthday to Me!

    Glad to see you had a great birthday thumbsup We had success early in the week also, but it fizzled by Thursday for us. I was hoping to meet you before you left to go back home. We didn't get down to Lucerne until late Wednesday afternoon and by the time I got to Bduck's camp Thursday night...

    blue mesa 6/26 report

    Sounds like there has been a steady increase in the action the last week or two since the lake has started to level off a little. I have heard of a few fishermen getting their limits recently. Sorry to hear about your motor troubles. I had the same thing happen last week at Flaming Gorge with...
