    2013-2016 Idaho Kokanee Fishing Reports Quick Links

    i don't use scents, lots of folks do though, tons of info on KFF about scents, i found a good thread on KFF titled "Favorite scent for kokanee?", its a good read fishing down by LP dam isn't usually very productive this time of year, i would recommend dragging that long line through the fleet...

    2013-2016 Idaho Kokanee Fishing Reports Quick Links

    Ended up boating 9 fish this morning, 3 of the kokanee and one of the trout were over 16" and the others were all 13-14" I too found fishing spotty, one moment they wanted a spinner on a downrigger and the next moment they wouldn't touch that but decided they would hit a squid on a long line, I...

    Electric Trolling Motor Setup Advice?

    Finatic, I run a 2 stoke kicker, it is 7.5hp and will run cool all day and never loads up, the motor was cheap and is pretty light, not sure of actual weight but it can’t weigh more more than 50-60lbs, prolly a few hundred dollars could get you a decent motor It sounds like you are set on the...

    At times it seems likes only certain setups will work, I've run into similar situations fishing for steelhead, it seemed like in a certain hole I could only get them to hit jigs but no hits when drifting gear along the bottom On any given day there will be dozens of different combinations of...

    thats kokanee fishing, lots of bites somedays when they just toy with the lure but don't aggressively attack, soft rod and monofilament line and downriggers (so you don't need sinkers) give you the best chance of landing them many days ill notice the rod barely moving in the rod holder during a...

    don't tell me where that fish was or i'll be tempted to invade your area and catch it last fall i was fishing LP and i had a line out very far (about 130ft) and with the sinker i had on it the lure was prolly running around 15ft deep or so, + or - a few ft when the wife said it was time to...

    fished 6/1/14 from around 11am - 12:30pm, took about 15min to find a school that would cooperate, fished the narrows just below spring shores, had lures from the surface down to about 20’ and reeled in fish from every depth in between, the bite was good and the fish were shallow enough to just...

    i found this info online, if one of my fishing buddies wants to crack open a beer while im running the boat (main motor or gas trolling motor) can they legally do so when the boat is under way? it seems like that is legal, but i wanted to get some opinions before i contact the state of idaho (or...

    I generally fish LP over AR also, and yeah I've heard mixed info about both bodies of water being better and worse than last yr, and your "fun and games" reference is funny, haven't heard that one before, sometimes I talk with the "forest circus" about the condition of the roads to deadwood...

    My buddy spoke with F&G and supposedly lots of kokanee died in arrowrock over the winter, have any of you heard anything about the current population being much lower this year vs. what it was at this time last year?

    mounting my minn-kota in the anchor nest

    nice looking setup, it prolly doesn't matter too much in Oregon but here in Idaho my batteries heat up quick in the sun so i shot some white spray paint onto my battery box to keep it a bit cooler, i've heard mild heat doesn't drain batt life too badly but i know extreme heat or cold will drain...

    Payette and Little Payette Kokes

    From what I've seen Physion is correct, my buddy does get into some kokanee each year and the fish usually range 10-12", I'm sure there are bigger ones in there but I just never hear of them being caught
