Fished Green Peter yesterday from 7 to 10 am. Surface temp 74 F., water level down about 35' from full pool. Calm, somewhat smoky. About 6 other boats out there. We fished with electric trolling motor and downriggers 60' deep using wedding rings. Caught 9 kokes from 8 to 10 inches, lost...

Fished GP yesterday morning from 6:30 to 10:30. Very nice conditions, full pool, calm, 50F surface temp...but few fish showing on the gadget less than 100' deep. Scattered fish 100 to 200' down, no big schools seen. We trolled wedding rings & corn on downriggers at 25' to 60' and did some...

Sorry...try Amazon. Got the new fishfinder today but unless you're a 14 year old nerd, you probably can't figure it out or use it. Screen is the size of a postage stamp and it takes a magnifying glass to see the numbers. I'm going to bite the bullet and buy another Hummingbird 8-AA set...

Ordered a new fish finder today from Amazon...only $39.95 with free shipping within 2 days. Can this be real? If so, plan to go back up to Green Peter on tuesday and see if it works.

Late report Fished Green Peter sunday May 28 from 6:30 to 10:30 AM and caught four kokanee and one rainbow...all about 10.5 to 11 inches. The kokanee were fat and firm. Used Wedding Rings w/corn at 20 to 30 feet on the downrigger. My fish finder was on the blink...corroded batteries...so I...

Went back up to GP yesterday with my 4.75 year old grandson...launched at 9:15am and had five in the boat by 10:15. We fished wedding rings behind dodgers and gang trolls...w/corn...the dodger/wedding ring being most productive. 50 feet deep. Caught another on the gang troll at 47' when we...

More GP Went back up to GP today with my 4.5 year old grandson. We launched at 9:15 am and had 7 fish in the boat by 10:30, from 8 to 9.5" long. Nice, fat kokanees. Sunny with no clouds and no wind. Would have kept fishing but grandson was getting hot and wanted to go swimming...which he...

Made another trip to Green Peter this morning. Unlike the other morning which was cloudy and no sun, today it was severe clear from sunup with not a cloud in the sky. Launched and started fishing at 6:45 and had eight in the boat by 9am...except only 7 were kokes, the other a rainbow trout...

Fished Green Peter yesterday from about 6:30 to 9:30 am and my bud and I caught 18 nice, but small, kokanees from 8 to 9 inches and lost about as many. We were using wedding rings with corn...fluorescent orange and fluorscent green wedding rings with corn on a small dodger. Both seemed about...

Anybody been up to GP yet this year? What's the water level? Are there any kokanee biting? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yeah...that is a Shimano that I've had for over 20 years along with a matching rod...caught a lot of kokanee on that outfit! Will probably go back up to GP at least once more this season...

Fished Green Peter today from 7:15 to 10:15am. Light winds, nice weather...fish were biting well for the first half hour...caught two...but then the bite quit. Caught the little one at 40' and the larger one at 64'. Lots of fish showing on the Humminbird at 90-110' but that's too deep for my...

Thanks for the report. Last year at this time the fish were running 12-13 inches. I may go up there tomorrow to see what I can do...

I don't know about the crawdad population in GP...they're probably everywhere...you might try northeast of the island where it isn't too deep. Will be going salmon fishing out of Westport WA on tuesday and wednesday next week...then plan to hit Green Peter on friday for kokes.

What has ODFW been doing at GP regarding stocking? One would think there could be enough spawning area in Quartzville Creek and the middle Santiam above the lake. I think ODFW ceased stocking at Odell Lake some years ago...

I've caught kokes in Paulina and Crescent...and according to Gary Lewis' Oregon Lake Maps & Fishing Guide, Detroit also has kokanee but I've never fished there.

Unlike last year when 12 inchers were the norm in July... I haven't been fishing in about a month but plan to remedy that next week at GP.

Thanks for the report, BigBob... Have you tried fishing up any of the arms of the lake or going up to the upper end? I usually fish between Thistle Creek and the island...but that's just me...and my little boat & motor.

On the north side of Green Peter Reservoir, between the Thistle Creek ramp and Whitcomb ramp, there is a bridge over an arm of the lake the locals call Kokanee Bridge. It is one of the few places in Oregon or Washington that I know of where boatless anglers can catch kokanee. Anybody know of...

Fished GP yesterday (monday) from 6:15 to 9:45am. Very little breeze, clouds burned off by about 8:30 and that's about when the bite died off...not many other boats out, maybe 15 or so. Caught 7 kokanee, all on the downriggers at 30' and 40' using small chrome dodger and pink/white beaded...
