FishWisher is an easy name to live up to!

Yep, we were about the only boat on the lake at times, occasionally one or two others were out. It's good to be old geezers and take our vacations after school starts and the crowds have gone home! The kokes in the creek were something like 14" on up to over 20". Never saw anything close to a...

Inspired by last year’s world record 9.7 Lb. kokanee, I drove to Oregon, picked up my old high school buddy, Al, in Prineville (and I do mean old; he was class of ’58!). We continued on to the northeastern, and much unheralded, Oregon’s Wallowa State Park. For me it was nearly a 2000 mile round...

Yer killin' me! I try so hard and have so little to show for it. Congrats on a great trip. Your Youtube videos are awesome!

I just couldn't seem to do anything right this trip. After the 65 mile drive to the lakeside bait shop, Glory Hole Sports near Angels Camp, CA, I discovered I had no wallet and no phone! To add to the troubles, I managed to cross the downrigger weights at 85+ feet deep and get them hung up on...

I've read several glowing reports about the great koke bite on Lake Berryessa (about 40 miles west of Sacramento), and having never visited the lake, decided it was time to give it a try. I hooked up the boat on Tuesday morning and started the 105 mile trip. I launched late and didn't begin...

After installing a new Raymarine autopilot on my C-Dory, I was anxious to head for New Melones Lake (in the Kalifornistan Gold Country foothills) for some kokanee fishing. I read the report from Glory Hole Store near the lake that trout fishing was slow and kokanee was fair to slow. As a fair to...

Thanks for all the response, guys. From your info I expect I'll have no problem with it. And for now, it looks like we'll be heading to Wallowa Lake in Oregon at something about 4400', instead of 6300' Gorge. But then again, things may change back to trying the Gorge this year.

I took a week's trip with Wifey from our home in California to Oregon to visit family. While there, an old high school buddy, Al, met me and we went to Central Oregon's Paulina Lake, in the Newberry Caldera about 25 miles south of Bend. This is the most beautiful lake I've ever fished! (Check...

Here in Kalifornistan I troll with my Tohatsu at sea level, but my upcoming trip to FG will be at 6000'. Am I going to need to change the carburetor jet to troll there? Any help on this issue much appreciated.

Launched into the virtually full New Melones Reservoir a bit after noon yesterday, and trolled the main lake near the spillway 'til about 1900. Caught a couple of decent kokanee, released a few about 8" or 9". Wish those little ones would leave my lures alone, after reading about releasing 'em...

I'd pretty much given up New Melones a couple of years ago with the new toll booth they put up, but the reports have been terrific! I figured even I might catch a couple if things were that good. I fished this past Tuesday evening and did pretty well for me, had four nice 14" or so kokes to the...
