Agreed! I can’t recall the last time I saw more than about 6 boats actively fishing on the whole reservoir and that includes holiday weekends. However, I have had 50 boats fishing the same water I was fishing at Anderson. Lol!

There may be some bigger ones based on what I was seeing on the finder, but they could have been trout/chinook too. I saw a guy catch some Kokes while mooching, but his weren’t any bigger from what I could see. I would think he was fishing deeper than I was. I fished on koke pole not more than...

I’m only speculating, but I doesn’t sound like he was even close to deadwood. I tried to go home that way Friday night, but the road was closed at the deadwood lodge so I had to go through Bruce meadows (the way I came in). My guess is he was turned around up by the pass somewhere. The lower...

June 5 trip Did a rush trip to deadwood. Bruce meadows is the only road open and it was a little rough. Lots of pot holes in the first 10 miles. Got up there Thursday night at 10pm and camped by the ramp at the inlet. Figured it would be ok considering there were only a few people camped...

Crappy weather Fished from about 9-3 today trying out all the new toys. Windy and raining cats and dogs. Spent about an hour at fall creek first thing with no luck and ridiculous wind. Jumped up and spent the rest of the day between curlew and lime. 10 kokes and one chinook in the boat...

**** Almost forgot...don’t get hung up on trying to isolate the downriggers from the boat or “leaking” voltage from a short in the boat. Nothing is isolated because the boat is in the water and the downriggers are in the same water. Nothing is isolated. Even if your boat isn’t leaking voltage...

Go test the boat with a $20 volt meter before installing. You may not need the black box. If you are catching fish on par with everyone else, you are probably ok. It’s not going to make you catch fish but it could limit the problem of scaring fish away from the boat before they see your gear. I...

Speed Isecond the notion of the go to setups. I have my favorites for all the places I fish. Don’t ever use a green/black WR on arrowrock at first light though... ;-) My go to speed is 1.3 with s turns to start every day. Try to keep track of what the boat was doing when one of my outsid...

I’m in the market for a new fish finder and I’m curious if anyone had tried the new HDS Live for Kokanee. Specifically I would like to know if people are able to pick up Kokanee on the 3D structure scan. It seems like that could be nice to pick up larger schools of fish that you don’t...

Big ones I have yet to land one of the big ones in Anderson in 3 attempts targeting them exclusively. I don’t think they are there in truly fishable numbers because I didn’t see that many on the finder. Few and far between to say the least. When I was banging the big ones at deadwood they were...

Fished Saturday targeting the big fish. Didn't see much on the finder....a few scattered Kokanee schools between lime creek and fall creek. Landed 1 small chinook and 3 huge squaw fish. Long lined with weight for about 30 minutes for Kokanee while I had my other gear on the downriggers. They...

Fished 7 to 2. Landed 1 trout and had a few drive bys. Stayed away from the fleet mostly but it didn't look like anybody else was catching much. Fished near dam and up the sf arm. Lots of fish but they just wouldn't bite. Apex, houch, wr, etc. Threw everything we had at em.

Fished Saturday from 9 to 4. Started at the dam and worked all the way to lime creek. Didn't see much on the fish finder. Nothing landed. Was targeting big fish all morning. Switched to Kokanee gear after lunch and still didn't do any good. Had a couple hits, but that was it. My buddy showed up...

So I get that this is a Kokanee forum, but no one ever really talks about the coho up there. Do you use similar gear? Do you need to troll faster? How big are they?

Jimmyjav, I saw you out there kicking around. You were certainly in an area with plenty of fish. It sounds like a cliche, but if you want to catch Kokanee use Kokanee gear. If I was going to try to catch trout, I would use night crawlers and power bait... :-). Try shoe peg corn (white) and...

Good news and bad news. The good news is that there was very few boats...as expected. The bad news is that the Kokanee fish was sub par and we got encroached on by other campers. I didn't really drive 4 hours to camp 30 yards from strangers. A few too many people in the campground with us...

So here goes. I went in over Scott Mountain and barely made it. My fenders are currently secured with duct tape...probably would have happened now matter which road I came in on. Went out throurg bear valley. Better road, but an extra 10 miles. Two hours on a gravel road regardless. As for...

Had mine for about a year now. Red window with gray soft top.

Sick of the crowds at AR & LP. Headed to deadwood this weekend for the first time fishing. Will be fishing for kokes with two poles and really planning on targeting black mouth. Any one willing to share some info on gear and tactics can pm me or whatever. I won't stop until I have it figured...

Hit the water "early" today along with what looked like the rest of the city of Boise. 2nd time on arrowrock and I couldn't believe how many boats were on the water. Made me kind of miss only having to deal with a few water skiers at LP. Caught a few nice fish though. Didn't catch enough fish on...
