Big Chinook The Chinook caught at Anderson are as good eating as those caught on the Oregon coast? WOW! Is the flesh colored a deep orange, almost red, like the coastal fish? The ones I caught at Anderson have all been juveniles and light colored flesh. I may have to change fishing...

Chinook How old are the Chinook at Anderson Ranch? I can't remember when they were first stocked but maybe 2 or 3 years ago? Has anyone caught any that weigh 10# or better?

We fished 3 days, June 23rd 24th and 25th, and used dodgers with little squid behind them and caught fish from surface to 25 feet. Lots of fish but size is down from past couple of years.

What shape and size are the Chinook? We caught 1 Chinook a few days ago and it was getting very pink in color. Are they still good eating at that stage or are they better smoking material? The one we caught was maybe 4-5#. It sure seems like the Kokanee numbers caught are less than last year but...

Yea, cats. Its slow when the water is cold but it will be warming up some soon. Any news yet as to accessibility to Anderson Ranch Reservoir?

Thanks for the reports guys. It looks like it will be awhile yet before we can get on the reservoir. I want to fish the upper part of Brownlee too but in the last several days the flow from melting snow up high has the water extremely muddy with an awful lot of debris floating on it. A friend of...

Does anyone know if Anderson's water is fishable yet due to ice and snow issues? Does the reservoir have a reputation for producing well shortly after ice out? Thanks in advance for any info that someone would post for the forums members.

Thanks for the info. Now I just have to pick a day without much wind and decide whether to go Anderson or Lucky Peak. Thanks again thebug!

Yea, I know its the middle of December and its really cold and windy but I have this strong desire to go fishing. Has anyone been out recently? Does anybody know of anyone fishing the reservoir this time of year in past years? I guess that I am a die hard of the worst kind!!! Fishaholic or...

Fished Anderson Ranch yesterday, Monday 7/13, but only got 3 Koks. We didn't try deeper than 60' and it sounds like 70 to 80 would have made the difference.

Replace the short cable on your release with one that is 4 feet long. Then you can use an old fishing rod with a hook attached to the end on the rod to reach down and retrieve the release. 4 feet will allow you to remain standing while you attach the release. This way you can leave your...

I fished three days, 6th, 7th, and 8th with a friend and we landed 75 nice fat Koks. Color change hasn't gotten really noticeable yet. The flesh is in great shape too. There was an afternoon rainstorm every day that forced us off the water but was still an enjoyable trip.

This should enlighten you. http://www.fishexplorer.com/co/fxrforum.asp?action=det&pid=67248 If the link doesn't work for you just put pop gear fishing on a Yahoo search. You realize of course, that you are probably in the incubation stage of "Kokanosis" and pop gear alone will just barely have...

Chris, try Slingblade dodgers, but get the ones that are UV. The UV ones are a couple bucks more but seem to work much better. I am going to try the Glow series too. I just bought one of each in the medium size and am hoping for the best!! Maybe size matters?

We stacked with lower rig at 60' and the upper at 50' until close to noon and then tried varoius depths afer that. Most hookups were at 60'. 4"dodgers or Sling Blades were used about 16" ahead of little hot pink or off white rubber squids with double hooks baited with shoe peg dosed with...

I took Ericsod up on his invitation to fish with him and I am glad I did. We stacked the dowriggers and boated 26 Koks and 2 Rainbows. Lost 6-8 at the boat because we got cocky and started hoisting them in the boat instead of using the net. White corn with homemade Anise treatment worked well...

Saturday PM sent. Maybe it can work out.

New to fishing Kokanee. I have a nice boat with a convertible top for shade and downriggers. Also have two lightweight slow action rods and plan to use Hoochies at 20-30 feet deep at 1.5 mph. I am guessing that I am on the right track but would very much appreciate any advice concerning fishing...
