Fished porcupine the last to weekends with quick limits both times. The lake level is dropping but there is still plenty of water. The kokes were running a little shallower Sunday, around 30’. Green is my favorite color this time of year along with anise flavored tuna corn. I see that the lake...

Ririe That’s good to hear, exciting even. I wish I would have read this sooner as I would have liked to have given her a try last weekend. Good to see there are some in there. Any size and did they seem to be this years spawners? I’ll be out of state until late fall but hope to hit the ice. If...

Palisades Fished Palisades the last 2 Fridays and this being the only times I have fished there I have been pleasantly surprised. The kokes haven’t been too numerous but they have been quality fish. 15”-17” and fat and sassy. No fishing pressure to speak of, 25-40’ of water, watermelon and...

I haven’t seen much happening on the forum lately so I thought I’d give a report. Today was my 4th trip to Porcupine this year again a successful one. I have been seeing well defined schools of actively feeding kokanee in the 12-14” range with the occasional 15”er. The schools have gradually...

Paulina Peak has them in their online catalog at 5 for $2.95. Wish I could find them in bulk.

Fished Porcupine today. Arrived late morning and fished through a gorgeous blue bird day. Marked fish almost everywhere, most schools 40-50’. Got an easy limit Of 9-11 inches on green colored spinners one line on a downrigger and the other long lined with 2 oz 100’ back. Had to drop back to the...

Road and water level I forgot to mention that the road is much smoother going up the hill by the dam than it was a couple of years ago, and the lake is full.

They weren’t giants but 8 1/2 - 11” are big enough to make me want to go back. I didn’t get much of a chance to fish porcupine last year due to back problems but i do remember catching a few 13”- 14” the year before with 12” being not uncommon. With a 12 fish limit they do add up to a few meals...

5/23 Fished porcupine again the 5/23 with a bit better success. Got 4 in the boat and lost at least as many just before the net. Early on I was targeting a couple of schools at 24’ and towards the end of the trip I found 3 schools at 45-50’ which were much more active producing at least a bump...

I forgot to mention I’m a kayak angler 5mph to me is flying.

I updated my location on my profile. Can’t wait to give her a try and I’ll be sure to give an update when I get back.

I hope to get out with the grandkids a little more this year. Porcupine seems like a family friendly place to go, fishing in the morning and playing in the afternoon.

The wife and I are planning to spend a week at CDA in late June. It will be our first time in the area and if anyone with experience on this body of water would be willing to share some tips or advice it would be much appreciated. We will be camped near Wolf Lodge Bay but will go wherever the...

I had the opportunity to fish Porcupine this past Monday with limited success. The reservoir is full, water temp 53-54. I got on the water mid morning and was the only boat on the glass calm water. I only saw one well defined school at 25’ and was only able to boat one koke with a couple hit and...

Took the grandsons up to Montpelier for a little ice fishing this afternoon and managed to jig up a few kokes. Nothing big as the largest being a fat, heathy 12” but it sure is nice to have some fresh salmon this time of year. Caught them about 10’ below the ice with Swedish Pimples. The road in...

Gave her a try today. Fish did not want to cooperate but it was a beautiful morning to be on the water. The ice is going fast with much more water opened up compared to a week ago. Surface water temp at 36.7*. I found fish on the sonar 50’-75’. This is only the 2nd outing with this sonar, still...

Thanks Bduck, I hope to launch mid morning. The overnight temps are supposed to be in the teens so I’ll let it warm up a bit. I’m experimenting with a new kayak, trying to see if the downrigger is positioned right and if I can recognize Kokanee on the new fish finder. Probably bring the old...

With the ice fishing slowing to a crawl I am hoping to give Porcupine a try this Sunday. I did a drive by last weekend and there was a good bit of water opening up, at least enough to make me want to give it a try. Just wondering if anyone here has given it a try this year. This will be my first...

I’ve been debating between a Lexa and Cold Water low pro. The Lexa has a faster retrieve and a lower price tag. Think I’ll give the Lexa a try. The few reviews out there seem positive as well.

Are those Lexas? I’ve seen them at Sportsman’s for around $129. What kind of deal did you get and where?
