[jimbojump]

been up at least a couple times per week...been slow for a month...starting to pick up finally a bit...they are sparse but running shallow...water temp was 49 on Sunday...

Thanks for the report! This is my first communication although I have been reading your reports for about a year.
My question is what areas would you suggest trying this week end.

 

[Tika]

This thread concept is a great idea.......should be quite useful.

Welcome to the site, Bayhorse. Wish I had a good story to tell you. Mike

 

[jimbojump]

they arent concentrated yet so anywhere is possible...had a bit of luck at the south fork entrance and in the bay before the dam...good luck!

This time of the year the Kokes has the erge to migrate down stream for some reason, not clear on that. Best fishing would be down around the Damns. I was told this, buy a fish and game Biologist.

 

[bayhorse]

Thanks for the info. Think I will try the dam area Saturday. Good luck!

Anderson ranch

I'm going to Anderson Monday the 23rd. Will troll between Dam and Fall Creek entrance. Will Have a report on how we did or how we didn't. I would think that they will be concentrated around that area.ken

(3) trout...a bunch of sqawfish and no Kokes...trolled between boat ramp and dam...the trout were on top, downriggers never had a hit.

 

[jimbojump]

Went up Friday...boated 3 nice Kokes and a pig trout...killed and fed to the birds 3 Squaws...had several doubles but because I was reaquanting my 12 year old to Koke fishing we lost about 6 to the fight...all were hitting at 16 feet deep on DR's...

 

[Fish On!!!]

Fished Arrowrock today landed 5 kokes the bigger ones are 17" also landed a bunch of northern pike minnows. Fished 20-35 ft deep. Hit apex's mostly some on pink hoochies.

 

[SawtoothSUP]

Friday Landed a 17'' koke near the Dam, and several trout on the same gear. This is the first week I have seen the pike minnows become active. Killed about 10 of them. Yellow troller with green wedding ring & corn. zero hits all day on a shasta sling blade and pink wiggle hoochie near surface. Then sat morning the trout slammed the same pink hoochie on the surface. One things for sure the rig that works one day, is worthless the next.

Fished on Thursday....yes it was raining...aside from being cold and wet...we slammed out 12 in three hours...all nice ones too...alot of debris in the water...surface temps hovering around 52...lake is at full pool...must have stocked recently cuz we also caught several dinks...one going less than 6 inches...lol...most were caught on dr's at 18 feet...some on top before the dr went down...always funny when that happens. Fished from 10:30 to 1:30....good luck

 

[DowntownBrowns]

Yep they dumped 90,000 little dinks in on Wednesday. Which is when we fished the entrance to the SF channel for 4 hours w/out a bite.

 

[jimbojump]

Yeah Ive been striking out in the normal places...had to search for new fishin grounds...kinda like they do on Deadliest Catch...LOL And Hoochies havent been working up there either..so you have to change up in that area as well...

 

[DowntownBrowns]
