I was told a story once by an electronics professor that this happened to him once when as a boy he was bringing the cows in from the field as a thunderstorm was rolling in. He could feel his hair stand on end and he reflexively fell to the ground as lightning struck a tree on the other side of...

A few questions enter my mind - are graphite rods fiberglass wrapped ? Monofilament isn't conductive. Not sure about braided line ? If the boat was metal then perhaps you were shocked by the boat. The metal reel could have been getting current induced to it from the air.....

The kids are actually teenagers now and they do like to fish. When they get bored of riding in the boat we put them on the shore and let them swim and bass fish. We had one good bass meal over the weekend.... They want to tube but they also know that we are trying to conserve fuel for the 4...

Pzak, There are many designated camping sites all the shore. They are marked by mile marker. Most of the boat ramps have a map, which you can pick up, that show the sites. Most of the time you can find shore line that is sandy. You do not want to leave your boat up on the sand over night...

Ken, JTM, thanks for the inout on the FF. I am really disappointed and not sure what to do. It's the first one I have really ever used. I have asked H-Bird mounted in the front of the boat and the transducer rear mounted. When the FF sees the DR ball as the bottom how does it react for you...

Ken -- Thanks for the advice on the corn and dyes. We spent a beautiful 4 day weekend up at Dworshak this past Fri - Mon. We camped up at Evans Creek - just above Magnus Bay. Fished various points anywhere from there up to Gold Creek. Boated 100 fish for the 3 days. Sure was fun. Dyed corn...

fishingmom, I like the 5 gal bucket idea.... I have actually used 2 to slow my drift down ... :)

Yep it's me ...

Fishslayer, thnaks for the info. We will be going up tomorrow for a 4 day weekend. probably camp around swamp creek or Magnus. Have fun in Canada.

fishslayer, we went as high up as the Osprey nest above Magnus. Didn't do as well there . So we went back down to Swamp Creek. Did better there. Sure weren't doing 10 fish an hour though. This was probably one of our lesser trips in terms of catch. We generally stick with wedding ring, banana...

Ken, I meant to ask what fishfinder are you using. i have been struggling with my Humminbird I purchased last summer. It seems to want to loose the bottom. I think I have that problem mostly resolved. However, this past weekend we were catching fish but I never saw any on the finder...

Thanks for the information Ken. I was at camp cabin and home and picked up some Pro-Cure Anise Plus. I looked at the Pautzke corn but didn't grab it. I am a very surprised at how well the fishing sounds down below Elk Creek still or perhaps we just like to move up for a change of scenery. The...

Hi, I've read some of the various postings about fish finders but didn't really find an answer to this. I am wondering if some of you who use fish finders can offer some more advice. I was fishing for Kokanee on Dworshak and I have had some interference woes (or something) with my fish finder...

Hi Ken, we were camping up at Cranberry Creek during the weekend. We kind of took it easy and not out too early. I was watching some of the boats fish in Cranberry and then give up. So I took that as an omen and we went up to Reed's Creek and Swamp Creek. We fished 2 days and caught about...

I was too interested in catching fish so I didn't play with he finder alot. I did set the sensitivity pretty low and it did not really get better. I will have to play with it some more.

Hello, perhaps this has been discussed and I didn't find the thread. I have a Humminbird 597 ci HD. When I lower the down rigger round ball into the water the fish finder kind of gores haywire. No bottom display, no fish, the depth is evn way wrong. 200 - 300 ft of water and it say 3ft or...

Thanks Silverbullet. Has anyone tried the Okuma SST's?

Thanks! That may be where I need to put in some time researching a "kokanee rod" ....

Hello, While I am not new to Kokanee fishing and we do have good success I do not use waht most of you might call a Kokanee pole. I was wondering if some of you could list some of your favorite rods? I have seen some mentioned but didn't really find a thread regarding poles. Thanks!

Hi Chad, I noticed nobody mentioned using rubber snubbers to keep from pulling the hooks out of the mouths. I was kind of curious why. Of Course I don't use anything but wedding rings and maggots, pink or white. Instead of actually using a snubber I use 1/4" black elastic from the fabric...
