I moved NM in 68 from Sacramento . I planned on staying only 2 yrs . Then I planned to move to the front range of Colorado. The weather was so nice , the fishing was so good , the people were so friendly , I never left. But don't tell anyone , Its still easy to get away fom traffic and and good...

With a little green chili scent , they might work in NM :-)

An inquiry to Cabelas returned this reply , ClineFinder Temperature Sensor Item:IA-014907 $159.99 goes to 50 foot Thanks

That sounds what I'm looking for . I googled Koch Thermometers and didn't see what I was looking for , but have hundreds listed . I inquired by E mail. I'll keep you posted .

About 35 years ago I had a remote thermometer that would read temp at depth. Anyone know something similar ? Dick

Is there a remote thermometer to check water temp at fishing depth ? How do you find that ideal 54 deg water ?

I don't remember fishing kokanee before mid May . I'm not much help .San Juan is usually good in March . Sometimes theres a big Caddas hatch on the lower river above Blanco . They often raise the river level to 5000 c f s around mid may. Then I fish Kokanee .

Probably the 2 best New Mexico lakes are Heron and Navajo . Heron is at 7200 ft , Navajo is at 6100 ft. Temps usually in the mid 80s to mid 90s Cool mornings and evenings . I've found good kokanee fishing June to mid August. Heron also has big lake trout .

The San Juan arm is listed as about 36 mi long, so the CO boat ramp to the dam is probably about 30 mi . So about an hr if the weather is good .

Thanks , that was my plan . We finished the motor and controls overhaul and ran the motor today, sweet ! Its a 30+ yr old 4 cyl 50 horse merc bored , new pistons , bearings , reedblocks . Carbs ect rebuilt . should last another 30 + yrs . I'm taking my Mom on an Alaska cruise for a couple weeks...

Thanks to those to replyed . I went to the pro-troll websit and theres lots of information. Probably the same info as in the book. The motor overhal for the Kokanee Killer is finished . I'll run it in the tank for awhile tomorrow . When I get the DRs mounted and take it out I'll do some testing...

I did a search ( i should have done it first ) and probably found the info I needed, unless someone has something to add, Thanks

Hi I just bought a used 16 ft alum boat that I'm rigging up for a Kokanee Killer. I've been using my 26" Searay Cuddycabin twin that is getting to be more work to launch and load then I want to do most of the time. I often fish by myself . I read an article about measuring electrical current...

Lake trout in Navajo I saw a couple F & G biologists today at the lake. I asked if Lake Trout were ever planted in Navajo. They said some were planted in the 60s but they thought it was not successful I think the big fish we mark down deep might be lake trout that some how survived . Might...

I caught a 12" trout one time fishing for kokes. It was kind of bluegrey with spots . I thought it might be a lake trout or brookie. It was not colored like either that I'd ever seen.I've onlycaught Lake trout in the Artic . I released it and later talked to F&G . They didnt think Lakers had...

OCF Next time your down you might try for northern pike after the Kokanee. this is a report from another forum Re: Lake Navajo in New Mexico We troll up pine river for the pike but I'm pretty sure they are in all the rivers. Just troll a bomber B about 30 feet from shore in fairly...

Thanks for the report . My wife is bring the grand kids 11 and 8 with her from Fla today . I'll be doing some panfishing too :-) . I'm curious , were there very many boats trolling for kokes ?

Fishing report at Heron Lake The paper today reported an 18 1/2" kokanee , 3 lbs 2 oz caught at Heron Lake . Nice size for this time of year. Lots of limits caught this week. No reports on Navajo. I suspect no one is fishing yet. I can't wait to get up there .

Lots of 12 - 14" kokanee , some years 19 -20" in August . I havent fished for big trout specifically in the lake. I flyfish for big trout in the river below the dam. The lower river below the Aztec bridge to Blanco holds the browns . Mostly private prop and not fished much. A couple people that...
