2018 Lucky Peak Reservior Kokanee Fishing Report

is lucky peak cursed? Has anyone been up and fished lately?

Fished from 7 am to about 1130 on the 5th. Only caught two kokes, lost 1 or two more, and three trout. hardly marked anything either. The ones we did catch we never marked on the finder. Now DR for us so all long lining.
 
wait for it

We went up for a pre Anderson 4K boat shake down run and since the boat ran good we then fished the white pipe to the helipad area for 2 hours. Two poles standard setup at 10ft to 25ft and we caught 10 rainbows but not a single koke. I'm pretty sure we had one on that we saw some silver flash but it got off. The trout were making it hard to catch kokes. Obviously we weren't dialed in to the right color or depth but we were also limited on time so I "dance with the one that brung me". No large clusters in that small sample size area other than the mouth of Robie which always has a mass of fish but we didn't get any takers there.

Just like the last three years that I have been fishing LP I expect the following. Slow spring and then HOT SUMMER and FALL. Weird because that isn't the traditional kokanee way but it seems to be the deal at LP. Most likely it's a technique issue. I read a lot of sad fishing stories through the year on this particular thread but we've caught a limit or close to nearly every single trip last year when it was supposed to be DED dead. Sometimes you have to stay a long time but that is the POINT!

If you want to catch more fish than a human should ever eat go to Anderson. I like LP because it's a cheap and short trip from the house and I can catch a limit of fat healthy BBQ'ers almost every time. Plus there are way more good looking girls in surf boats to look at....(might as well find a positive to that irritating aspect of the game)

didnt go yesterday as planned - looks like wed report was a bust - guess i didnt miss anything - all we have is Anderson - did catch some Arrowrock early but have not seen any reports recently - any reports from there?
 
It’s dead everywhere in Idaho . No one’s catching anything anywhere. Might have to move to California....I hear the bite there is outstanding.

Went yesterday to DLP ( dead lucky peak ) had two on ( a double ) both got off and that was it for the day - not another bite - marked a lot but no takers - talked to one boat which had 2 and saw them net another - only net i saw out I guess Anderson is the only show unless Arrowrock is picking up any one have recent report?

My boss landed a nice koke on lead line with a little Cleo
 
Any weekend reports at lucky peak?

lots of Googins fished till 10 lost 2 out of 3 bites - did have a hughy on got to boat looked to be close to 20 if not more never has a kok hit like that - pulled it down and it never came back up - thought i was on bottom - jumped at least 4 times - one last run at the boat and snapped the snubber- would have at least liked to measure it - counted over 40 boats heading for Arrowrock - bet that was a cluster Back to Anderson this week
 
sad to see the poor reports. I figured it would pick up with the heat. Guess its Anderson this weekend...…. I much prefer the 30 min drive to LP over the 2 hour drive to Anderson
 
Sunday

Had 5 hits but no fish... using squids with double
hooks and corn. I know they are soft mouthed but
Really? What am I doing wrong??

I'm thinking about camping on a dock site for a couple of days. Are they 1 boat 1 camp site and can you have campfires?

I like #31
