Autorick, I dont fish the dam part of the lake much But that said, I dont fish Dworshak early very often. I start to get the tingle about the last week in May. I kinda have gotten stuck in a rut with Dworshak being a fill the canner type lake. I get some eats and than start fishing other...

Kokerook I understand what you were asking, its Just like SuperD says its just not that critical of length. I just eye ball it. I wanted to make sure you weren't focused on something that dosent have to be that precise. thumbsup Silverbullets, Here where I fish most of the time, 10 or 15 feet...

The length of your leader should be a starting point. Get used to the idea of seeing it in the water, the way it runs. When I tie a new lure on, I always look at it in the water and see if it has the action I want. (The fish will tell you when it IS right) All dodgers and sling blades run a...

I hear that a lot myself. Hurry and get the net for me this is a big one. If she ever sees this she will be calling me netboy too. She has me beat on everything we catch trout ,salmon, & kokes, hers are always the big ones. She smoked me so bad when we took the boat to BC this last summer...

I bought an A R E fiberglass top for my truck and love it. I looked at leer but were 1200 more than the A R E.

Salmon in CDA can be hard to come by sometimes. But there are some good ones in there. http://www.lcaaidaho.com/Misc_Fishing_Photos-2013.html http://www.lcaaidaho.com/BigOne2012Standings.html They are a great fight. I also hear rumors that Ponderay lake at Sand Point is got back some...

I like the bottom one also ---for me, and the color complements the beads better. That being said, the lakes I fish the kokes would prefer the top color. So make one of each. LOL !

Ok great info you guys! Thanks. wrightwyoming I will get back to you on seeing you down there. Would be fun. The wife caught a silver phase in Wallowa a couple years back that was an ounce over 6 pounds. I havent broken 5 lbs yet. But came close. That fishery has totally died when it come...

Very nice boat . I love my thunderjet and its my second one.

Ok Thanks that was what I was kinda thinking from looking at all the old posts on here. The kokanee in the Gorge must bank spawn ? So Im guessing that you would have to be in shallower to catch fish this time of year ?

The wife and I are thinking of a trip to the Gorge again this year. We havent been in about 4 years or so. We want to go when the fish are turning red. Want a couple big mounters is what we are after. Where we live here in Idaho we get all the eaters that we want with a 25 fish limit per day...

I have a 150 four stroke yamaha on my 21 foot Thunderjet off shore. I have had no problems with it, but only been running it 3 years. I wish I would have stepped up to a larger motor, its a hair under powered. But my last 2 boats where in- board jets and would set you back in the seat. Great...

I like the braid as it makes no noise in the water. It also gives you less drag or blow back. I fish open water mostly and never drag bottom or hit stumps etc. That being said, I run steel again in all my riggers on my boat (4 of them) . I dont like that my counter is off by---- well on my...

Ha good on you ! Theres nothing like having a new boat built thats exactly what you want.

Dworshak kokes are the worst Ive ever delt with for being soft mouthed. Now that they are heavier than ever before they take a little bit of different tactics to put more in the boat. The photo below shows the snubber to use, they are braid. The latex rubber tubing ones "Bottom out" with these...

Fishfam --you were just short of one of my best fishing spots. I have never done well at the nest but I have seen a lot of people fish there. The first narrow spot on the lake above the nest is called the pinch, its about 100 yards wide. This is where a bunch of fish hang up. Its hard to fish...

fishfam----------You should be fishing magnus bay or even higher up this late in the year. If your not putting 10 or so fish per hour in your boat move on or do something different with your tackle.

Hey glad you guys are doing good. I havent been fishing Dworshak much this year, a couple other lakes have been getting my attention. 4 of us did go down a saturday a couple weeks ago and ended up one short of a limt. Guess we couldnt count that high cause we sure could have caught one more...

Your best bet might be a drift sock. I use them as my Thunderjet is an off shore model and the wind will take you like a sail. They take some learning to use right but work well and store very easy. You might look at one . http://www.lindyfishingtackle.com/catalog.aspx?catid=driftcontrol

SuperD, Dworshak has been self sustaining. I dont think they have put any kokes in Dworshak sense about the 1980's or so. A guy could look at the Idaho F&G web site and it would say for sure but its been along time. I have fished kokes in there from the time I was very young I want to say about...
