2019 Lucky Peak Reservoir Kokanee Fishing Report

[Idahosmitty]

Sat June 29

Fished from 7am-noon. Landed 4 kokanee, the largest being 16". We also landed 6 trout and tossed back 1. Lost 1 kokanee at the boat which was a nice fish. Early we started out at 20' but did not do well until 10am-12 when we found a school of fish a the 45' to 55' range. I was set back 30' or so and Hot Orange was the color with Bloody Tuna corn scent on a hootchie. 1.4-1.6 MPH. Some of the trout were awesome to catch and had darker meat than the Kokanee. I decided to quit due to the pleasure boaters making the water less pleasurable to fish on. We had a blast and came home with another healthy dinner of Kokanee and Trout. This healthy dinner will be offset with whiskey neat and Budweiser!
I do however, have a question for the pro's...........Are the parasites (if that is what they are) on the trout at LP at all dangerous? I'll send an e mail to F&G but I spoke with another gentleman who was throwing fish back due to the parasites. If you have caught a few trout there and not noticed the parasites, they are usually around the fin areas...... Anyway, hope all is well! Jason

parasites

Fish and Game has already addressed this question, and will assure you that the parasites pose no problem whatsoever. Go ahead and enjoy them. Mike

Good luck if you go fishing in LP. That's our first fishing trip LP this year.

Skunked

Thought we'd give Lucky Peak one more try. Fished from 8 to noon after putting in at Spring Shores. Fished all around there without a nibble. Fished with down riggers set from 15 to 55 feet with just about everything in the tackle box. Trolled from 1.2 mph to 2.0 mph. Zigged and Zagged without success. Bummer. Miss the days of limits at LP. I thought we'd at least get a nice Rainbow.

Team Zigzag nailed giant kokes101welcomwworthy12 at the point across from marina. Down 24. 1.4 mph. Pink squids w/ smiley blades/ 2/0 sickle hooks, anise soaked pink fire corn, procure bloody tuna. So much fun

Sad to see LP dragged down to a 4 fish per day Res. Hopefully they will figure our their planting schedule on big run off years if that is the problem. Otherwise, Kokanee plants are always a gamble where you can lose 70% of any year's fish plant with a simple bacterial infection. Interested in what they attribute this low yield to.

May you season be filled with limits of Kokanee and limited Jet Skiers at the end of you line.

We fished Anderson last Sunday and although action was slower thank prior outings still not bad fishing, we got 14. We didn’t find any large schools and fish were scattered from curlew to lime and up through the narrows. We tried fall creek for awhile but didn’t find much there.

Fish were mainly 25-40’ deep.

Let us know how you do as we’ll be back on Anderson this weekend.

Did do Anderson yesterday. Real slow only boated two out of 10 hits. Everyone around fall creek did not do well ( that i talked to ) Did talk to boat that fished east of balls and said they had a cooler full - looks like that end would be better Dont know if full moon affects koks?

Sure hope you do well. Very few people fishing it. You'd think they would be staging in the narrows area by now. However, with early and late fish now, who knows!? Waiting to hear your report. Thanks in advance. Mike
