My wife and I had a good day yesterday and caught our limits. We were flatlining but marked an awful lot of fish at about 50’, not sure if they could have been cruising macs but they were showing up consistently where the water was between 70-100’ deep. We caught all of our fish on dodgers and...

I made it out on 5/16 and had a good morning, 5 salmon shallow with pink/purple working best for me. They started dropping around 9:30 but I have an aggressive strike in a large gold spoon trolling for browns after filling the salmon limit. He jumped several times and shook the hook but I...

Thanks Konanee64, I was thinking of starting at dry creek as well. I will post results for sure. Good luck out there, I will be in a tan 10 ft kayak trolling two rods, if you see me feel free to swing by and say hello

Thanks for the intel Thank you Kokanee64, I appreciate the effort you put into the posts. I am going to try trolling this weekend from the kayak, hopefully the water temps are climbing above 50 with all of the warm weather we have had and the schools will be running in the top water/flat line...

Furmaster, thanks for the insight! I have watched videos of guys jigging lake trout in multiple holes on a spread using the panoptix, the way they were able to watch the behavior of the fish coming in was incredible.

Kokanee64 Thank you for the report, I am glad that you sorted out the marks at mid-range, I caught one bow down there but assumed it was mostly Kokanee. I hope that the spawn is still strong and the fish are just dispersed right now, have we had good years for 2nd and 3rd year adults coming up...

Well, at least the weather was beautiful:) One Kokanee for 5+ hrs paddling around. I don’t know where in the heck the fish are, but I can tell you there aren’t a lot between elk and dry creeks. Lots of algae, the lake certainly has plenty of nutrients, but even the trout are acting uninterested...

I am really curious how the runoff and fluctuation effect the plankton. Sediment = nutrients = phytoplankton = zooplankton is my basic understanding. If water clarity gets very poor do the plankton end up entirely in the upper column to get sunlight? And if there is a balance throughout the few...

It is bad luck for them indeed:) Any time I get on them I am thrilled, if they move it is bad luck for me because top speed is 3knots and I can’t keep that up for long. It is a big body of water to scout! I noticed in one of your earlier posts that you are using bead patterns with a lot of...

Hey kokanee64, I made it out for the early session Wednesday and had similar results. I flatlined two rods ~120ft behind the kayak and no weight. I caught 3 on hoochies and lost 3 more, I am still learning gear management on the kayak in close quarters. Pink and purple was the ticket for me...

Hi All, I am new to the forum and live on the west slope, just got into chasing Kokanee from my kayak. Thanks for all the perspective, you have helped me get a fun start with your shared experiences.
