That is pretty much the experience we had on the Utah side about 2 weeks ago. We fished out of Cedar Springs, 2 days with a guide and 1 day on our own. We caught 3 kokanee, one lake trout pup, and maybe a dozen rainbows in the 10-14" range. Biggest Kokanee was around 14 inches. We hit a...

Windy Day on Ririe Four of us decided to try our luck at Ririe on the 9th from 9:00 to 3:00. It was too windy to fish the open water near the dam most of the day. We fished around the Floating outhouse where it is more sheltered. Even there it was challenging to maintain a course and several...

I will look for you next time I am on Ririe. Sounds like you have been doing well!

I have noticed sometimes I will catch them going with the wind and get nothing against the wind or vice versa. I think that might be that I tend to zig zag more into the wind. Now you have me thinking about the clockwise vs. counter clockwise thing. I will have to try it next time if I am not...

Good luck. Let us know how you do. Fontenelle is on my list of places to try.

I normally start with a Shrimp/Krill Anise scent. If that does not work, I try others. Lots of times I never need to try anything else.

Ririe Three of us fished Ririe today. Ended up with 18 in the boat. All but 2 were 13-14". We lost a couple of nice ones at the boat. Dodgers and hoochies seemed to work best. We caught some on orange, but also caught some on other colors. There did not seem to be a strong preference for...

Hopefully we can figure them out next time. That is the challenge. laugh hyst

Cinco de Mayo on Ririe Two of us fished Ririe from around 9:30 to 5:30. We started near the dam and trolled 2 flat lines and two DR lines at around 20 feet. We did not mark any fish and did not get any bites, so we started working our way upstream. We started marking fish near the floating...

Nice work. Now is the time to get things ready for next spring!

Thanks for sharing. Seeing what others are doing in the off season helps.

Nice work. Is that mild steel?

I have had some luck with Kokabow Dodger in "Blue Back". It looks a little like a kokanee. It is not my favorite, but I have caught fish on it.

Thanks. I have learned a lot on this forum and try to pay it forward by sharing reports with others.

Another Good Day on Ririe A friend and I fished Ririe Reservoir today. I ended up keeping 10 kokanee, all except one between 11 and 12 inches. The biggest was just under 15 inches, a nice fish this year. My friend kept 12 or 13. His all ran 11-12 inches. We lost more than we caught. Lots...

It can get hectic when I am by myself, but the I-pilot on my trolling motor helps a lot. I can focus on the 'riggers while the I-Pilot maintains my course. Lately I have been fishing with a buddy, so one of us can steer the boat and the other can crank hard if we end up in a shallow area. It...

I am glad I bought a downrigger with a 2:1 retrieve! thumbsup

Good Day on Ririe We fished Ririe on Thursday the 30th from 8:30 to 5:30. Water temp was 69-71 F. We caught 27 fish between the two of us. Most were 10-12 inches. A few were shorter. Two were just under 13 inches. A few of the bigger ones were starting to get a little color. We tried to...

MMDON, I will take the kokanee any way I can get them. They are tough to find at Palisades, but when I do, they tend to be nice fish. ;)

Mixed Bag on Palisades Fished on Palisades today from 9:30 to 6:00. Water temp was 58 F when we started and warmed to around 62 F. We explored the west side across from Blowout boat ramp until around noon. We marked lots of fish around a small cove at Big Springs, but did not hook anything...
