2019 Anderson Ranch Reservoir Kokanee Fishing Report

[JagerR]

Down fishing the BSF again yesterday, a lot of snow has melted around the river since my last trip on the 6th. Last trip the roads were a snowy/muddy mess, everything is dry and the graders are working on the roads. I think the warm days are starting to help us but the cold nights are not. It was 19 deg's @ 1000, I didn't think I would be worth looking at the dock yet, but I will on my next trip.

Dam ramp

I’ve heard there is open water near the dam. Problem was the ramp being covered in ice and snow. Does anyone know if the ramp is useable yet?

ramp

The regular ramp has snow and ice on it and is out of the water--The low water ramp still has snow on it

There was a rumor they graded the road to Arrowrock. If they call that graded, I’ve done it wrong! I’m guessing it’s just a rumor about the dam ramp. Because I heard it too.

Ramp

I know the main Elk Creek is at the marker where you cant launch a boat
The low water ramp is available when the snow melts a little more

New updates on launch conditions?

Thinking about heading up and wondering if anyone has snapped any new photos for launch conditions now that we're warming a bit.
Hoping there was a little melting this week? Might make a run either way, but hate to get there only to be turned back.
Thanks for any updates!

Ramp

I just came from the elk creek ramp--The main paved ramp can't be used--The low water ramp can be used--There were 2 trucks with boat trailers parked in the ramp area--It will be difficult to launch to launch a larger boat because of the limited area to turn around and the lower ramp road is muddy--You will need a 4wd for sure

I’ve launched at a lot worse ramps. The ice is still hanging about a 1/2 mile from the power lines. Marked 3 fish deep and 1 at 30, in 4 hours.

I will be chinook fishing in the next few days--I hope they are a little bigger

Could that be the bigger fish I marked at 50-60?

 

[rem40xb1]

Bigger fish

I normally fish between 50 and 100 ft for the chinook--There are several big fish in that dept range--Lots of big Bull trout and some big trash fish as well--When I fish with bait I catch a variety of fish--You never know what it is when that down rigger trips

Elk Cr boat launch 15 Mar

I checked out the launch at the end of the day, looks like the conditions got a bit worst from when you were down there rem40xb1. I walked down to the secondary ramp and once you leave the pavement its a muddy mess. From the top it don't look to bad, walking down on the road, its pretty rough with all the melt off. I'm not going to be launching just yet, my truck is a bit heavy for the mud. I don't like getting stuck lol.
