Today started off good. Left Mountain home around Seven AM. Had boat into water bye 8:30. Had first fish on buy 10 netted. Hooked up again fish came off. 20 minutes later hooked another with the downrigger at forty ft, Reeled the fish in and the green horn who was trolling from my swim platform steped on the hose two my trolling motor and broke it where it attaches to the trolling motor. Had two quit fishing and leave to bye a new connection. We tried the 460 motor but it trolled too fast in the calm water. Only two fish too report. Will be going again hopefully wednesday and next friday thats if they come up with the part I need.

Hahahaha...greenhorns...ugh...I went day before yesterday...had 3 giant pigs on....first one broke my damn snubber at the swivel...grrrr...second made boat side but greenhorn I had made several attempts to net only to bash the fish with it instead effectively knocking her free...grrr...third broke back hook off at the knot....still mananged 10 keepers but no pigs...all three appeared to be around 17-18"...so....from now on Im tying my hoochies with snell knots...maybe that will help...I think my snubber was defective as it was brand new....wind was 20 + mph most of the day so waves were bad and we just shut off the kicker and let the wind push us...still think we were a bit fast though...

Fished Anderson today (first trip this season) and although we got rained out we had a good time. Left a little late, about 0645 and got the boat in the water about 0815. Headed out straight across from the launch and then left toward Lime Creek area. Lost 2 right away then my daughter got one in the boat. The bite seemed to slack off so we decided to head back the other way toward the Pine Resort. Hit a hot spot and boated 6 (probably lost about 8) in about 30 minutes and then the bite died. Headed back toward Lime Creek to see if any thing was going on and decided to hit the shore and let the dogs run around and go to the bathroom. Back in the boat and 20 minutes later the weather started in. Wind, Rain, then okay then wind and rain again so said the heck with it. Can't wait to hit it again but probably won't make it out until the 4th of July. No schools today except a nice one across from Lime Creek in about 60 - 80 feet of water. Tried fishing those but not one bite. All fish we caught were between 17 - 22 feet. Nothing big, two at about 14" and the rest about 12". Posted some pics of the dogs doing their part in trying to help find the fish.

And SUPER red/pink eat. Very tasty! Watermelon hoochie and pink dodger at about 15' was the ticket for us.

Fished yesterday afternoon from 12:30 to about 6. Went 11 for13 with a couple of other drive bys. Not bad for a rainy afternoon. All smoked up and in the freezer.
Little action at Anderson Ranch
Sounds like there wasn't much going on at Aderson Ranch. Okay those of you that are thinking about going too Magic Res. there catching hogs. I have been hearing 5lb. trout up to 18lb. fish being caught. These guys are trolling around the dam. Orange and white Rapala has been the hot lure. I'm just passing on too what I have heard from two different partys. I'm going too Arrowrock dam tomorrow. Will have a report tuesday night, good or bad. Watch out Squawfish I'm a coming. Later guys and gals.

Haven't been to Anderson for several years, use to be an annual trip for the wife and I. Would like to try it again this summer. Where does a person pick up the muscle shell insp. permit, something that is new since we last fished there, any info would be appreciated. Is the limit still 25 kokes at Anderson or has that changed, thanks for the info.

The inspection permit is now charged as part of your boat registration. No more seperate sticker. If you have a current boat registration sticker then you are covered.

Oops...sorry bottombouncer. Didn't even look at your home state and made a bad assumption you were from Idaho. Lunddude, thanks for keeping me straight.

Thanks for the help guys, I use to be a resident of Idaho, resident of MT. Home for 16 years and the little lady is from Grandview. Retired A.F. Started fishing Anderson back in 1966 as MT. Home was my first duty station. We are both employed at Hill AFB and like to make at least one out of state trip fishing each year. We love to catch and eat the Kokanee so Anderson is one of the lakes we like to fish. We are looking at July 22nd to the 25th.

Bottombouncer,
I'm still stationed at MHAFB. I imagine things have changed some since you worked here...then again, probably alot of the same as well. Hope you have a good trip to Anderson. Maybe we'll see you up there.
