8-10" ron .....there has to be bigger ones in there, we were on a good spot with constant bites so stayed with it - wondered about going farther up to cranberry crk area, will be back up one day next week to try - surface temp was a warm 60 and its about 15' below full - a little grass trash in the water but not bad....good luck let us know what you do!

Spent the day at Grandad yesterday ended up boating 61 kokes,
not one of them broke 7 inches tossed them all back but a few that
werent going to live. Fished all over in my normal places. Smallest fish Ive ever seen in 15 years of fishing here.
Hope the big kokes are around somewhere !

Bass fishing was great in warm inlets drop shoting a wacky worm.

Thanks for the reports. Good to hear the bass are still biting with the water on the rise. I wish i knew what why the lake is producing so many small kokanee the past couple years. Something is messing with the natural cycle. There are millions of them scattered the whole length of the reservoir but even with big trout and bass gorging on them there is apparently too much competition for food and they arent growing. You gotta start canning those little guys for the sake of the fishery!

Anyway, Going to leave the barge parked and take the little boat to Soldiers Meadow. It was stocked with nearly 11,000 catchable sized kamloops rainbows a couple weeks ago so those and the crappie there will keep Hailey entertained for a couple hours. I also hear the mushrooms are popping out after all this rain so we'll take a little hike and look for some to sautee with our fresh grilled trout.
