sawtooth, I'll be there opening week July 1st thru the July 4th morning bite. The opener is usually pretty decent, with some decent sized Chinook in the mix, and the time frame your thinking about heading over is better because the larger fish start to move in!! It sounds like your an "Old Salt"...

Nice Darren!!! Glad to hear you got into them!!! I fished American Saturday, and yup wasn't fast enough on the DR's as a trout kamakazied my spinner rig!!! I like those dodgers you have, text me a pic of what they look like from the side so I can see what type bend they have before I order some...

Very Nice Mark!!! I hit another one of my favorite lakes this past opening weekend. En Fuego!!!! Winterun

KokeRook, I tie my double hook rigs the same way you do, opposing each other, maybe a touch more spacing between the hooks, and maybe a bit more of the bottom hook exposed to increase bite surface area. Nice hooks by the way!!! Winterun

Looks like NOAA updated the weather forecast for Saturday slightly. The winds are going to stay the same pretty much, SW winds in 7-8mph range shouldn't be too much of a problem. But the precip went from a 50% chance to 60% still not too awful bad. Just going to be wet longer!!! I'll have a...

Mudinchev, David, Darren, I'll be at the AM PM on Hwy 12 there getting a refill on my coffee and some hot case breakfast. If you see my rig in the parking lot honk and wake me up!!! Travel safe guys, and we'll see you on Saturday!!! Joe

Just wanted to find out if anyone was commuting from the Tacoma area and wanted to caravan down to Mossy Rock Saturday morning??? I was thinking of leaving around 5:00am to get the boat in the water, but open to different times and routes. As I was just going to take the I5 route, a bit longer...

Been burning alot of holes in American this spring trolling around for kokanee. Sunday was no different, other than I got a late start, had coffee and doughnuts with the wife! Finally at the lake 8:15am-8:30am, got under way and headed to where I left my last GPS track on Thursday. What would we...

Just wanted to make mention of the upcoming Lake Stevens Kokanee Derby next month. I've heard it's on Saturday May 18th and derby tickets and more info are available at Ted's Sports Center, John's Sporting Goods, 3 River's Marine, Triangle Bait & Tackle, Greg's Custom Rod's, and Holiday Sports...

Mike,I don't want to hijack this thread. But I just read your report over on WL. Thanks for sharing the info by the way, as I would have gotten after them with my westside gear also, small dodgers and short leaders glad to here of your success in doing so. But I had a question......did you and...

Well, I enjoyed Saturday so much thinning out the trout population in American I decided to go back Sunday and do my part to help the kokes!!! Only one other boat on the water today, must have been the weather!!! I talked with him at the launch and he also did his part and took a few rainbows...

I have the same unit! 788 CI HD Combo. It has more bells and whistle's on it than I can use. But the color screen is excellent to look at and in bright sunlight no problems at all, well unless you have polarized sunglasses on. Just keep updating the software, it's expandable, and has an extra...

dragonfly, Great idea! There's a lure manufacture in the midwest that makes spoons with this feature. He gave me a bunch of them to use out here in the PNW. But have not got a chance to get them wet. Some of the spoons he gave are as big as your typical Shasta Tackle, Rocky Mtn, dodger, same...

SuperD, Yes we get that alot at consumer shows. Sorry! But we basically set up shop and get a chance to talk to folks about "all" the hooks we manufacture as most retailers can't possibly carry everything we make. But on the plus side though, it's our way of supporting our whoesaler...

Thanks SuperD! I noticed your in Sacramento. Did you make it to the ISE show last week??? Did you by chance stop by the Gamakatsu booth and check out some of the kokanee hooks!?! I didn't make it down there this year, as my only trip scheduled to Cali is in March for the Fred Hall show in Long...
