1st day of the Genesis Gorge trip

[binthere50]

Just a quick report from our first ever day of Gorge fishing.
In a nutshell, a steady pick bite from daylight to about 10 am.
Nothing red hot for us, but we did manage 8 kokes in the first
3.5 hours today, 3 rainbows up to 3 pounds and a handfull of macks.. Of course the thrill was the size of the kokes....
Average size was 19-21 inches and I'd guess 2.5 to 4 pounds.( forgot my scale) First one came at 50 ft and the rest were all over the board and all
the way up to the surface as I was letting back a line!...
Fishing is tough, water is dirty down to Upper Marsh, but I heard a few guys on the radio talking about finding some decent action...We'll see what tomorrow brings!.........

I'll be up tomorrow. The rest of the crew is already there and had good action today. Watch out for the junk floating in the water. I was told the level has risen 1.5 feet in the last two days. That is a lot of water.

I was up there today and it's off-colored down to about Holmes Crossing, where it begins to clear up. Still lots of debris on the surface in wind rows, reservoir-wide. Ryno
