LOL 0 4 12 that has to be a new record laugh hyst You didn't want to clean them slimy things anyway. No in all seriousness what happened? You must be using a different pole after breaking the tip off the one the other day or did you end up repairing it? Good excuse to go buy another setup!
 
Don't think a snubber tooexcited will help much unless you are using a telephone pole! I switched to Gama Drop Shot/Down Shot wide gap #2's and never looked back; they stick on and rarely come off.
 
Downriggeral,
In case you don't already know this, one good way of increasing your rate of fish to the boat is to put the tip of your rod a foot or more into the watermwhen playing the fish...this will greatly decrease the kokanee jumping, a common cause of losing fish. Mike
 
I finally built me a 7 1/2 and 8 foot super ultra light rods. Going to the long wimpy rods seam to help me out the most. I have all kinds of hooks and a lot of different styles and the fished do not come un-pinned. My $0.02
 
kodiak1 - nepetbutler was the one who lost so many. I use light kokanee rods, play the fish to the side with rod loaded, crank steady but not fast and yes put the rod in the water if the fish wants to jump. All of the above work for me to give high hook to land ratios. I use #2 wide gap hooks for the big Roosevelt fish.
 
Jj broke his tip on a hog. It was on and gone from 7-9. Gonna try different hooks . Sat .if you smell bacon wave. gold king micro hoochies are working well. Also got terrova ipilot. No more hitting the bank
 
Went up today thought i would cut the fat hog in the ass and bypass LP because they have there head up there arse and are running it dry for no reason, anyhew it sucked bad nothing but Trout. I did catch Browns and Bulls but the Rainbows fought harder go figure. All are back safe and sound.
 
Fished near the dam today, boated 4 koknee and 2 trout. Lost 5 at the boat. All in all not horrible fished 10:30 to 3.
 
I woke up at 4:45 Am read the last two replies, and went right back to bed. :( I wonder why the fishing was so much hotter last spring?

The reason the fishing is not as good is because of the fires and mud that covered the spawning beds the last couple of year have really cut the number of fish in Anderson. Maybe by a couple of years it will be back
 
Fished today, Sunday from 9-2 and caught only one small Koke. Water Temp varied from 47 in early AM to 51 in the afternoon. Most folks on the water today had no luck either, at least the ones near me at Spring shores area. Nice day to be fishing but not much action. A bit of a tease to see so many fish on the finder and have so few interested in any of our offerings. Looking forward to more stable levels and warmer water. Better luck.
