Welcome to the world of Merwin. Always periods through the summer that no matter what you try or where you go.....tuff fishing. jz

Well Joe I was wondering when you'd surface. Thanks for the offer, jz

Thanks for the input guys. Gonna check out what FM may have in stock. In conclusion, check out your cables and take back up parts. jz

"Luckily I had ordered extra clips/swedges to redo everything if needed on the boat during a trip." "Since I started cutting off about 20 to 30 feet of cable at the end of each season I have not had any more failures at the ball. A new roll of cable every couple of years is cheaper than than a...

Left one of my new pancakes on the bottom this weekend. crymeariver Christy was retreaving the weight up and just before the autostop bead got to the stop....sploosh. The cable failed and broke. My guess is that in the last couple feet of cable before the ball clip there was a kink and fatigue...

It appears this lady straightens all your hooks. jz

The new Lami "Downrigger" rod is a sweet stick for trolling with or without a DR. The jiggers will chime in with their 2 cent about that type of schick. I like the Diawa Accudepth 27LC for a matching reel. Ya gotsta have a line counter. Counting pulls is old school. jz

Welcome aboard Troutski....and welcome to the seasonal ups and downs that is kokanee fishing.

There are days at Merwin when it's best just to troll with the wind and then run by up and do it again rather than troll into the wind. If you have socks, try using them to control your speed. Another crazy thing about this time of the year is that the wind can just stop or change direction...

"Fishing at Wallowa Lake is picking up." A bit of an understatement. The rest of us dream of that size. Well done! Guess I best be planning a trip there in the future.
