Im curious are you seeing fish and there just not hitting or is it a ghost town??

Luckily for Flaming gorge Gill lice have never been an issue. Just fisherman and lake trout! LOL If were not very careful Flaming gorge will crash though..... I think were already at step 3. I personally have years and years of GOOD memories up there and its sad to see it all come to this.

Speaking with Tony Valdez the owner at Buckboard marina early this spring he has actual data from both states showing the cost to stock Kokanee is a WHOPPING $0.03 cents each. A rainbow trout is around $1.30 ea. If you do some math the current population of lake trout eats more Kokanee than is...

"You can only stock what a lake can support" ? If angler numbers are up 80% are you not loosing 80% of the fish you stocked? If you own a restaurant and your buying food and your traffic goes up 80% your going to run out of food if you dont stock 80% more product? Pretty simple! Your also...

Here is some REAL DATA FOR YOU: During Covid (Past 3 years) fishing license sales increased by 80% Fact DNR on Wyoming and Utah side has had roughly the same stocking numbers for the past 10 years or so Fact The additional revenue in license sales did NOT go to stocking as we can see in...

Anybody hitting the derby in May?

Gives us ALL HOPE! So with Utah going to a 4 Koke limit has Wyoming done the same?? Just curios seeing you had 3 on the deck!

JUNK JUNK JUNK! We tried them and strawberry and you can get fish to hook up! There not intended for Kokanee so when you use a snell knot double hook rig it just doesn't work right...... .02 cents.... I think there actually used in china as children toys laugh hyst

SuperD I appreciate the conversation! Thanks,

I agree with you once you go super deep light refraction will be minimal but do you think the paint splatter helps at that depth? I think NOT. I think Glow comes into play when we go that deep. Not UV but GLOW!

SuperD I agree a Dodger has 2 functions- 1( Create motion for lure 2( Act as a attractor That being said I personally think "Motion or Action" is the most important function but I think light refraction is KEY! Think about it this way? If I park a car a mile away from you and the sun reflects...

Super D Thanks for the heads up!

Sorry, but its off season and I have Kokes on my brain. So thinking about dodgers and what works best I've asked several seasoned Koke fisherman and almost all tell me a simple chrome dodger with crushed glass on 1 side. This got myself thinking why? And I agree the crushed glass has been a top...

Hey guys! Question for ya! Does anybody know where to buy the spacers that go on the line between first hook and squid?? I've seen them on both Rocky Mountain squids and Kokanee creek?? Currently using beads which are spendy to what I think these tiny spacers may cost.... Thanks,

Thanks for the Report! That's NOT good news.....

Super D Thanks for the heads up! And 70 FT WOW Thats getting pretty deep for Kokes. Any word on how the buckboard area is producing?

Hey Guys- Question for you guys using the brad's cut baits for kokes? What do you use in the scent chamber?? Also, are the Kokes still holding out in front of Rawlings? Info is appreciated! Will be up there Thursday- the weekend come say HI! White W/Red strip searay and were always happy to...

The Kokes generally start turning LATE July If I were just wanting to try for a full blown red one it would be first to second week in August. As far as the Kokes migrating it has just begun they are starting move from there spring areas.....

Dang! I guess I failed to report..... First 3 days we did well on Kokes from the pipe line done to Rawlings. Interestingly enough we were catching them the first evening at 12ft down! Next day 40FT I don't know if it was the full moon or what??? Best lure was larger size chrome flasher and pink...

Man I'm glad you said it!! The RMT viper spoon was once my GO TO lure for Kokes but this year NOTTA??? Hand tied squids have been the top producer.....
