Hey Russ,Early to midsummer is usually pretty consistent.The fishing should hold all summer ,but brutally hot weather killed the koke fishing in late summer over the late few years. I don't get out to Nantahala as often as I'd like,but I would eventually like to see some red fish at the...

Because we're lucky,not wild about that sort of pressure. I wish we had more koke lakes,but no such luck. Our kokes are wild from, plantings in 59-64. The state doesn't actively manage them,but thankfully the spawning grounds are on private property.That protection gives them a chance to spawn...

Nice looking kokes hornhunter. Ours seemed to disappear in late summer.

Hey Ron, Thanks for the comparitive info.I bet Wolf and Bear would be great koke lakes,but that ain't going to happen. Let me know if you try Queens and what the ramp is like. Also consider Calderwood or Cheoah .A few years back in Oct we caught some nice rainbows and a brookie up to 19".We...

Man that is mighty impressive I can't believe you can even set any lines with little guys on board. My 19 month old Grandson is hands on everything, he loves the boat ,but we haven't braved fishing yet.

I hear you SeaDog.My lake fishing usually ends in filet and saute (fry doesn't rhyme) or with kokes kill and grill.nananana

On a good day I change whenever the kokes/trout shred my leader. On tough days I also stick with what I think will work.I tend to stick with stuff that ain't working until late in the day,then start switching drastically.So I end tough days with frantic frustrating lure changes and telling...

Nice!! I'm hoping to put a Watauga (TN) laker that size on my wall.

SuperD ,I'm jealous and confused I thought Stephanie was 2.8 miles away and wanted to meet me. Maybe she just has a thing for koke fishermen.

Molasses are only as fast as the mole in front of them .If that makes sense to you let me know.

Ron, I like that dodger hootchie set-up. Those little dodgers have sweet action. That koke was about the length of the one we got Sat but ours was skinnier( may have been the real West Hill visitor). TM

I hear you 1big that new tackle looks great ,shame it doesn't ever work like we think it will.

Nice thinking outside the box Ron.I've been grilling and baking kokes this recipe looks awesome.

Awesome day on the lake Saturday with my daughter and son-in-law.Great weather ,boat ran great ,used some new gear,and saw a bald eagle.The fishing was not too good three strikes and one 8" koke to the boat.Marked very few fish and none where we cleaned house three weeks ago. Had a few come up...

FRG awesome bunch of kokes.

Thanks guys,an airtight container would take care of things.I usually keep crawlers in my little fridge in the fishroom ,I'll just make room for a small scent box. I had some crawlers escape in the big fridge crisper one time ,so I'm on thin ice with my wife when I store weird stuff.How long...

How do y'all store your fish scents? I 'm bad to forget and leave it in my boat for the next trip,which sometimes is longer than I planned. Also had a bottle of trout gravy pop in the boat while I was gone on vacation.

Snagging ,though legal someplaces,is bad ummkay.

That is awesome.thumbsupthumbsupThe more kids we get fishing the better off the world will be.

Awesome Doc,The lakes are on my list for some day.
