Long time resident of Utah, retired and moved to Idaho. This is part of my research and surveying Idaho Members for average Ice Out at Palisades. We drove by last week and saw the reservoir for the 1st time and it appears to be about 40' below Full Pool. Websites I've checked advertise it to be...

Do any of you use this for the various benefits they advertise (better hole shot, fuel economy, increased speed)? Please share any details pro or con

Headed up tomorrow morning. I'm running a Black & Tan SmokerCraft flying the Jolly Roger off the bow. Radio handle is SmokeOnTheWater or "Smoke" for short. Pull up along side unless you have a mutiny onboard! laugh hyst

Staying at Buckboard or Lucerne A20?

Smoke will be back on the Gorge 4th of July week. Give me a shout over the radio if you need help or want to share your secrets. Should be on the water between Pipeline and Squaw Hollow most of the time. Planning to conduct some pre-season elk scouting on the North Slope as well so I won't be on...

Thanks Downrigger for your clarification. I was told that I had to keep the cable tie along with the certificate onboard if I was ever checked on the water not just at launch. I've launched many times in past years on the UT side, boated up the lake only to be checked by WGF just South of the...

Don't pass by the Boars Tusk without wetting a line! Always good smallie action and the bows come alive right before dark in that little side bay.

Guys I asked a very similar question at the Port of Entry (Evanston) my last trip to the Gorge. The WGF representative that day stated that they will man the stations later on weekends and holidays to meet boater needs. I believe he said they will be open at 6 am until 8 pm Thursdays, Fridays...

My Wife & I attempted an event such as this several years ago in conjunction with Utah's Free Fishing Day and it was worse than a flop. We did not have a single child or family show for the event. Following are some thoughts as a result of our failed attempt: 1 - We thought we would try and...

Damn Rob, that thing got a shower on it too? Mind if I pull along side when you're serving a buffet? Good on ya!

The Gorge is a vast underwater area as you well know. I've never heard much discussion about chasing Kokes at the Gorge especially post spawn. I'm sure you could target them during the remaining open water season but it's a bit far for me to drag my boat during winter conditions to give anyone...

COOL - Thanks for posting!

Must agree with the previous post. Those are my favorite go-to colors and give me the most confidence simply because they're proven winners.

Check and/or replace the fuel filter. With all the discussion of water in the ethanol fuel we buy it may be a clogged filter, water does not go through your filter element. Sounds to me like your engine is starving for enough fuel. Good luck and hopefully I saved you a few bucks?

Hi there Morkal 101welcomw You ought to try the hard deck for kokes. It can be hot & furious action when the schools move through. Don't forget they're a bit territorial in nature too. I think that's why they bite all year long on the trolling presentations we all give them.

What's the biggest koke you guys have pulled through the ice? I already provided my pics. The lake I ice fish doesn't grow big fish so I'd like to try a different lake this season that's even closer to home. Maybe we should have a friendly contest this year, no money, no prizes, only King Of...

I just borrow the one from my boat. I can map prime locations and underwater structure on the internal GPS and then connect the unit to a portable battery and spare transducer and I'm ready for the hardwater. Might be a cheaper and better option than what you're considdering?

My experience has proven that nothing other than your regular ice flies used for trout and panfish work just fine. Kokanee are schooling fish but that doesn't mean you troll around the lake drilling several hundred holes. Just set up over deep water and wait for them to come to you. When they...

Hey Dan When we last talked, we were going to get together at work for some good discussion. Now that I know what's going on in your life, I'm here to say you have your priorities in the right order. I've been down a similar road twice before. Hope all is as well as can be and don't hesitate...
