Ririe still slow We fished Ririe on Tuesday from about 9 am until 5 pm, from the Dam up past the "S" bends. Water temp was around 62 F warming to 64 F. It was really slow in the morning. We caught one 12" rainbow, then nothing for a long time. We ended up with probably 10-12 rainbows, the...

I like the idea Now you have me thinking. Would you have enough room for a small boat? Or do we need to design a trolley that runs the length of the pond so you can troll for the fish? tooexcited

Not all fishing is open Idaho has not closed any seasons, however they have suspended the sale of non-Resident fishing licenses. I believe the justification is that it is consistent with the guidelines that you should not travel long distances for recreation. Not sure how far is too far. An...

I am very happy with my 7 1/2' Lamiglass rod. It makes fighting the fish fun. Only time I regretted having it was the time I hooked a big lake trout on it. I could feel him shaking his head, but did not have the leverage to move him. He eventually broke off. I also got good service from...

I will have to try that next year! I will let you know how I do.

MMDON, We have caught kokanee in the past at Palisades. We don't catch many but they tend to run bigger. Unfortunately we did not catch any kokanee on Palisades this year. We have also caught a few lake trout in the past. I lost a nice one there a few years back. I hoped we might catch a...

Last Attempt at Palisades We gave it a go on Saturday from around 10 am to 5 pm. Water temp was 54 F. Air temps were mid 20's when we started out, but warmed into the 50's. We tried lures on the surface and a variety of lures on the downrigger from 20 ft down to 90 ft. Fished from Blow Out...

Ririe slowing down We fished Ririe on Wednesday from around noon to 12:30. We caught 3 nice kokanee, all around 14 inches, south of the Juniper Boat Ramp. All the fish were at 55 feet and were hanging around a plankton bloom. No real preference for color, but they did seem to like a drop of...

Ririe June 10 and 11 My friend Dave and I fished Ririe Tuesday evening from 7:30 til dark. We caught 2 both on the East side, South of the Juniper Boat Ramp. We found a big plankton cloud at 50 feet, so we dropped the Down Riggers from 30 ft to 50 ft. That was when we caught the fish. On...

Ririe June 12th We fished Ririe last Wednesday. It was slow and sporadic, but we did catch some fish. We ended up with 7 kokanee between the two of us. My friend Dave caught 6 of them including 1 that was 16 inches and one that was just under 17 inches. Those are very good fish for Ririe...

My gunwale is slightly rounded, which would allow the bracket attached to the gunwale to rotate from the leverage applied by the ball hanging off the boom. I am really paranoid because I almost lost the whole shebang once.

Thanks Thanks for feedback. I like your idea to get the downrigger up off the seat. My seat is 0.100" aluminum. A sheet metal screw only gets 2 or three threads in metal that thin, so I am concerned they will pull out, especially when lowering the ball. I think I will take your idea for a...

Question for Super D Super D, I am curious about how you mounted the bracket. It looks like you were able to bolt it to the seat? I assume that means you could get to the underside? I tried attaching my new downrigger with the rubber inserts that Cannon recommends when you cannot access the...

Palisades Fished Palisades Reservoir today from Blowout ramp up to Calamity ramp. Fished from 9 am until around 4 pm when the wind really kicked up. Caught a mess of cutthroats up to 16 or 17" and a few small rainbows, most on small spoons or small rapalas. No luck on kokanee. Tried...

No Luck at Ririe Friday I fished Ririe on Friday from around 10 am to a little after 3 pm. I fished near the dam, across from the Juniper Launch and up by the picnic area. I ran a flat line with 1 oz of lead from 40 feet to 100 feet out. I ran the downrigger from 20-50 feet. I ran all kind...

I usually fish across from the Juniper boat ramp. Look along the far shore and by the dam. If that does not work, cruise upstream to the picnic area. Good Luck. Give us a report if you go. I am getting antsy to get out this year.

Slow Day Three of us fished on Ririe Thursday from 8:30 to 3:30. It was very slow. We marked lots of fish near the dam and at several locations upstream. Tried varying speed from 1.0-1.8 mph and depth from 30-65 ft along with all kind of color and lure combinations. We caught one around...

Decent Day on Ririe Two of us fished Ririe on Friday. We mostly fished across from the Juniper boat launch, but we did run up stream almost to the floating outhouse. We ended up with 8 kokanee and 1 rainbow. All around 13-14 inches. Most fish were caught on a watermelon kokabow dodger with...

Last time I was there they were running 13-14".
