Water level
Water level curently at 88% of Full Pool. Water color not clear at Blacktail. A few Walley fishermen are getting out. Likely launching at the dam end of the lake and fishing that end could take a few Kokanee.

I would like to talk to one of those Walley fishermen or better yet I would like to see a Walley that came out of Ririe.

Went to Ririe to day 9:00 to 2:00. Put in at the dam and fished between it and the boat ramp. Ended up with 4 kokes, all on a fire tiger Rapala. We were not really fishing for kokes so getting them on a Rapala was a big surprise. Water was not muddy at all and the level looked to be down about 4-5 ft from full

OH darn and then some!
Wife and I took a run up to Ririe around 11:30. To start with, when I got there, one of my down riggers was gone. I think that I tore it off at the car wash. I went back and they did not have it. Simply, the last time I will ever travel with my down riggers on the boat. I should have known better.
The water is fairly fishable from the Y down towards the dam. I think it is about 3 weeks before away you can fish north of there successfully.
I did ping some decent fish is areas and did find a hot spot as we had a double on when we went through there and boated one. We didn't go back
through it again. There was a uncountable number of fish there at multiple depths.
Orange and glow in the dark rainbow was the color of the day for hoochies. The one pole long lineing it with a orange kokanee killer got a little action.
Looks like there are very good numbers of fish throughout the reservior, so it should be a fun early summer.

Made a Run to Ririe today
Went with PapaD and we lost a couple and caught a couple. I would say good fishing is 2-3 weeks out yet. Water is off color now further North past the s curves. I am laying low for about 3 weeks and then getting after it. Both fish 14 inch and the redest color that I have ever pulled from Ririe.

Your right Don. These are the nicest colored kokes I have caught anyware. And I can verify the fact that they are eating absolutley great too.101goodpost101
Hey Gonefishing and PapaD thanks for the advice on Sat. I am the guy that was at the dock. The hoochie you gave me teamed with a sling blade dodger hooked me 2 kokes and missed a few more.
Thanks again and looking forward to learning a lot more. Oh and are you guys going out anytime soon?

Welcome the the Forum Kman.
I am likely doing yard work this weekend so I can get some serious fishing in starting around the first of June. If you want to go over tackle and any info let me know. Send me a PM and I will dig out the tackle box so you can check things out.
I can also stear you where to get the right tackle. It is a process. I have been working at the right tackle for 5 years now.laugh hyst
We'll hook up with you one day and you can wet your line with us if your schedule works with mine! Usually that is a matter of planing.
Tight lines

Welcome to the forum kmanhart. We will have to hook up once the fish unlock there lips and start biting. Be sure to get with gonefishing as he knows a lot about going after those kokes.
Hey guys I look forward to getting out some more with someone who knows what they are doing better than I do. I went out last week and mostly trolled rapalas for trout with my 4 yr old son and ended up catching one good sized koke. Pretty fun for my boy. Get a hold of me once this weather gets better.
Thanks, Kman
