Put into the water around 530, picked up first kok around 6, we caught 4 nice ones total, and lost 3 or 4 all by 930 and then everything stopped and by 11 we started baking in the sun so we called it. Heading to anderson tonight for a couple days, anybody having luck there?
Koke tip, My buddy was at store and salesman always talks to retired fellow who fishes 3-4 times a week at arrowrock. He's says fish have gone deep and are at 50 feet. Explains why the fishing seesm to have cooled. Did catch a couple at 40 two days ago. Will go tomorrow and try the 50 foot set up. Good luck guys.
I was there yesterday with my son. We caught some smaller (10") fish that we released at about 28'. Then a ton of pike minnows in the narrows of the south fork. Then we got into the monsters at the mouth of the south fork. We were getting two poles at once a few times at 50-60'. Warning, don't use cheap wedding rings as the line on two of mine broke. Does anyone have any info on catching the Chinook out of lucky peak or arrow rock? I am planning a trip to Deadwood in a week or so and have never fished for them in a lake.
I didn't but I think my father caught one at 41'. Chinook haven't been planted in lucky peak or arrow rock since like 2004 but were in there. I am asking because they have been planting 5k a year in deadwood. A few earlier posts claim to have caught them in L.P. and AR.
Went last Sat morn. Trolled for 3.5 hours. Got 4 fish 17" plus, lost one all in the first 1.5 hours of trolling. All fish bit at 45-50 feet. Last 2 hours not one bite. Fishing seems very slow, not seeing anyone else reeling fish in. Might try Cascade tomorrow for some big rainbows and coho. Good luck
mrgene, Got on water about 630 Am. Just got back from cascade. Got 10 fish in boat. 2 small cohos. Rest were rainbows, no giants though. Local at cascade says trout fishing gets better middle/end of august.
Thanks alhntr
mrgene, let us know how you do, if you go in the next few days. Thanks, Al
AR high water ramp
It looks like the high water ramp at AR will be unusable by next week. I have never had to use the low water ramp is it a paved ramp? Can one with 18' IO launch and remove a boat. The high water ramp is not very steep and is about all I can do to get my boat out with out filling my back seat with water.
I fished LP this week but the fish are a great deal smaller than what I have been catching at AR.
Thanks

I have never used it when the lake was lower than it is now, however I have been told that the paving goes on down so you can launch when the lake is about 20+ ft lower than it is now.
Yaw, the slope is not steep enough for my 14' alum boat either, caused me to get a bath early this year, slipped off the tongue.
Thanks mrgene
It has been a number of years sence I was at AR when the water level was lower than the high water lanch. I do not recall just were it is.
Can the low water lanch been seen from the main read? For me getting wet loading the boat is just part of the trip.

I went to check the ramps on Tuesday the 23, with out the boat. The high water ramp had 10" water at the bottom of ramp, about 10" drop off and mud. About five boats had launched, not me I would never get my boat out. The low water gamp hat about 15 to 20' of concrete out of the water.
When back on Thursday the 25. I have a Blazer that I pull 18' with 4.3 cc IO and a single axle trailer. The dirt from the road to the launch is as had as a rock. I did not put the Blazer in 4 wheel drive. The road getting to the launch is what I hate. They are draining AR about 1.25' feet a day. At that rate the lower ramp will be out of the water in about 15 days.
Fishing was poor, I pick up one 12" and one other boat pick up 2 12".
