2019 Anderson Ranch Reservoir Kokanee Fishing Report

Ramp

I think I will wait also and I have a small boat with a 25 for bad ramps and deadwood

Heard someone recently tried to launch at Elk Cr and got stuck, anyone have any intel on what section they got stuck in. Sounds like it needs more time to dry out.

Maybe in a Subaru or 2wd... It was nice and solid under the 1” of mud last Friday. I launched a 19’ duck boat with my Yukon just fine...

Well then, sounds like it should be gtg. I will try to give it a go next week, I only have a 14 footer. Thanks for the info.

Curlew any problem??

New to Kokanee fishing

Hello,

My wife and I plan on going out on 3/30(weather permitting). Will curlew be accessible by then? we can launch our boat anywhere (sea eagle SR14) but taking it down the ramp would be the easiest!

Thank You!

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.

My step dad went there yesterday and launched his 19 foot custom weld in a 2019 chevy 2500 with no problems. he said the launch looked identical to these pics. They didn't catch, but it was super windy and they didn't stay long

I fished Anderson for the first time this past weekend both Saturday and Sunday. I Launched from the low water ramp at elk creek. Was out on the water from around 9-2 both days. The weather was great Saturday, as was the fishing. I ended up with a sunburn and 9 kokanee from 13-17". Lost a handful and relased a few chinook. Sunday's weather wasn't great with dark clouds, wind and some rain. A bit chilly, but not too bad. Kept 8 kokes, released 5ish sub 12'' kokes and another 5ish sub 12'' chinook. All in all, it was a good weekend.

Awesome report Jack(little jealous now lol). Its good to hear about the verity of fish too.

Fished Anderson again today from 830-130. Kept 8, released 1. Lost another 4. Good sized fish, up to 18". The water level is up a few feet from last weekend. I only fished to lester creek and as far as i could see there was no ice. There was some debris, i suspect it will get worse as the run off increases. All in all it was another good trip.

Fished the power lines from 9 to 2. Put 3 and 3 in the boat with the smallest being a 15 1/2” Chinook. 15’ was the deepest catch but most were on longline 60’ out with 1oz.


Love the way some people have no courtesy whatsoever at a boat ramp... Felt like Spring Shores.

 

[Bog Jumper]

Which ramp?

 

[dustyjohns]

Which ramp?

The dam ramp. Is there another one open?

Northeast end of lake

Access looked limited on the upper end of the lake on Saturday.Ice was the story there.

Waiting for Curlew or higher water. Can't launch in the mud.

You don’t have to. I used the concrete ramp yesterday.

 

[Bog Jumper]

No that's good info. Maybe I'll use it tomorrow. thanks

Was that at the dam end and did you get a look at Curlew if it's feasible?

Curlew conditions

The ice picture my son took last weekend was at the Curlew end. Never bothered to go down to the launch.
