Ive gone out a couple times in June on weekdays . We kept 9 to eat , shook off several smaller ones both days . Most were 12 - 13 " Both days we fished from 10 A to around 2P. Lake is down about 40 ft from high water mark . I hear from the rangers the weekends are very busy . The other NM...

Hi Larry Are you still in NM ?

I just arrived back in NM . I'm still fixing the damage from the fire . I hope to get my boats and gear in shape soon . I've caught kokes in May before. Dick

Ive fished for Kokes in Navajo since the early 70s . the fish were large in the 90s . I think it was in 93 some weighed around 4 lbs and 18 - 19 inches . in 2002 I needed to take care of my mother and didnt get back to fishing Navajo again till last summer. 13" was average . Im not sure what...

Of Course ! Its very good and a huge scoop ! I moved from N. CA in 68. A friend of my sons had a great trip on Mothers day weekend . I gave it a try. Next time I'll ask for advice here. My sone and granson enjoyed it alot Thanks , Dick

Im visiting my son and famly for a couple weeks at Tracy CA . My grandson wanted to go camping and fishing before he starts college in TX. I reserved a campsite and rentel boat at Collins lake near Yuba City last weekend. Because its summer I brought along a couple trolling rods with Lead line...

Just wondering . Last few yrs , not much pressure at all . I wasnt coming back this yr , but a wild fire started down by the river. It distroyed most of my garage . The fire dept got there i time to save my cabin except some damage to one wall, and the big garage where my big boat is stored...

For 3 lines a downrigger out each side with a leadline out the back works well . downrigger lines are straight down and the leadline is far back. Often the leadline catches the most.

Hi Larry How many other Koke trollers do you see each day when your fishing ? Dick

A friend and I took a guided salmon trip down the Quanault ( sp ) river about 20 yrs ago. He sprayed WD40 on the bait . I couldnt confirm it works , we got skunked . It was a nice boat ride though .

This is the HP calculator site I used . its pretty interesting to check altitude ,temp , and humidity effects. http://www.csgnetwork.com/relhumhpcalc.html

I am an old retired boat racer , I won a couple national championships in outboard tunnel boats in the mid 70s . I also like to fish . There is less Oxygen at higher altitudes . Im also a high time pilot. You can google sites on the internet that will tell you the % of HP loss at your...

Hi Larry , I'm still in AZ , and won't be back to NM till about July 1 this yr. It will be a short Koke season for me this yr . Ive caught kokes at Navaho this time of yr with the down rigger set about 10 ft and a long set back Early they often seem to be scattered and not schooled up. They...

http://www.fuel-testers.com/gasoline_octane_and_ethanol_E10.html Read this before you decide if ethanol increases or decreases octane rating in fuel used in a boat , or a boat in storage .

I'm here , what do you need ? this time of year I'm in AZ , but spend summers near Navaho Dam on the San Juan River . Dick Roberts

Its not hard to remove the ethanol from gas .I do it for my gas powered racimg rc boats. Ethanol absorbs water . That makes it heavy . In a clear container pour in about 10 - 15 % water . Add gas . Shake it up some and let it set. Soon the ethanol will absorb water , sink to the bottom . There...

I think an easy way to check . On the way out at trolling speed let out your dodger and wedding ring as far out as you can still see it . Estimate how deep its running. I've had the same thoughts . Tomorrow I'm going to check it myself . Dick

I haven't seen any recient health reports on Kokanee. Lots of people do. If your concerne I'd suggest contacting the NM fish and game dept. I'm not fond of Kokanee but all the fish we caught were eaten this weekend .

I finally got out to fish yesterday after having a lot of boat work done .We got on the water about 8 am and fished about 3 hrs till the wind made it too hard to fish . A cold front came through and I wasn't expecting much. 2 of us landed 13 nice kokanee and lost quite a few . the last hr they...

My nephew who lives near Louisville KY is flying to the Tacome area the mid part of July. He has an 8 yr old son that wants to go fishing . Does Merwin or any other good kokanee lakes have guided trips available ? Dick
