make sure you gas up the day before fishing. you can always wear surgical gloves until you put the line in the water, and a electric trolling motor will keep your hands away from the gas engine. i'm not sure about putting any of that smelly stuff on my hands. it might make the beer slip out...

i'm pretty sure cherry lake had kokes in it.

how many lakes are infected with these mussels? and if they are such a problem, can they kill them off in the lakes they are in already. of course they won't do this in a lake like tahoe. all i know is i am glad i havent had my boat in any lake other than whiskeytown and shasta the past 4...

cptdarel, when you get up to whiskeytown and fish with tc, we all need to hook up. man , today we got around 3 to 4 inches of rain in and around redding, flooding all over and i am sure alot of water going into whiskeytown lake and shasta.

i first started fishing for kokes on stampede res. near truckee calif in the mid 80's. i used to catch alot of trout in this lake before i started targeting kokes. i still caught some trout, but it was not many years into koke fishing that soon i caught only kokes . now i fish whiskeytown res...

i have fished whiskeytown lake here in upper northern calif for the past 6 years and going on my 7th. except for last year where the fish were dinks, only going 8 to 12 inches, with a few going to 14, i have consistently caught fish from 17 to 19 inches, with the largest fish caught on my boat...

i used lead core back in the day i fished out of my 12 ft. valco and had no dr. as soon as i got my first dr. i really never went back to lead core. the presence of alot of boats fishing in the same area cured me of lead core. i also have caught alot of kokanee just beyond the back of my boat...

i won't use more than the two downriggers i have, i stack two each all the time and have been known to stack 3. it takes time and patience to stack, and it's a cheaper way to put more lines in the water .

at whiskeytown lake they have signs about the mussels but haven't seen inspections. also haven't seen inspections at lake shasta yet.

welcome fellow california kokanee fisher ! i would love to go to flaming gorge, if your ever going to fish whiskeytown lake, let me know.

where is this lake billy chinook located in oregon ? two years ago i camped at lake waldo. i think they should rename it lake mosquito, but it was a beautiful clear lake. we didnt fish there but did fish another lake just a few miles away that we walked around. and we visited odell and there...

i remember seeing the kokanee spawning in taylor creek when i lived at south lake tahoe. middle 1970's, i couldnt believe people were actually trying to fish for them. the creek was red with fish. a also remember the huge trout at fanny bridge, and i remember the drought that lowered the lake...

last year i caught fish, but they ranged from 8 to 14 inches. there were a couple of guys who fished whiskeytown alot last year and they had good success,but same results with small fish. hopefully the fish will be larger this year. as soon as the rains slow down i will be going fishing there...

i have about 6 abu garcia's the last one i got is the 4600c3, i haven't even put line on it yet. the clicker is a option i like because you can put two rods on a rigger and lower both at the same time with ease. they are a good reel for the price also.

just wondering who here fishes whiskeytown lake. i live about 8 miles from whiskeytown and it is the lake i fish the most in spring and summer. kokanee's are what i fish for and i'm hoping those little 12 inchers last year grew up to the fish i am used to pulling out of this lake.
