I'm going to fish Green Peter Saturday & Sunday. If you see my black NW Jet boat say, "HI" In between all the hook ups. Chester should be in my boat on Saturday & he’s the mastermind of the kokaneekid operation, it’s too bad he’s not very good on the computer because he wouldn’t need me. He told me to watch out I’m going to get something called the Kokanee Fever. I’m running a fever of 101 right now and I’m thinking about calling in sick at work to go catch fish. I would tell them I have the Kokanee flu I heard its worse than the Swine flu. This is the one time in my life I wished I didn't have weekends off. I would love to hit the lake on Tuesday and Wednesday, or Wednesday and Thursday. Good luck this weekend and like always I’ll post my report.

Fish On konaneekid…

Have any of you gone to the Whitcomb ramp? It is probably a lot less crowded. I was at Thistle at 5:30 this morning and had my pick of parking spots I was the only one there. I wound up with 18 fish a lot of them didn't want to stay on the hook. I believe they saw the boat name. signfishin

Is it even open yet?

 

[Lip Ripper]

I haven't been over there but I would think it should be open. It might pay to check and see if it is.

we were the 2nd boat there. you must have been still fishing when we left @ 1:00 because your rig was still there. we got 21 between the 2 of us. orange was working for us today. beautiful morning before the rain showed up. no real wind to speak of.101wave2101

I just checked with parks and the Whitcomb ramp is open. She also said they were pulling down GP to fill foster today. Seen in the paper where a boat trailer was stolen at Foster. Can't trust any body these days, so lock it to your hitch and get a locking pin for the receiver Harbor Freight has a good one.thumbsup

The draw down could make it tough this weekend. GP kokes sometimes shut down when there is a sudden change in the water level.

I have never had problems with theft at Thistle but have heard that others have. I always make sure everything is locked and nothing of value is visible from outside the rig.

wheres whitcomb launch at? past thistle down the road?

 

[Lip Ripper]

Go past Thistle across the bridge and up a hill and it is the first road on the right. signfishin101chromefish101

 

[Mark McWillis]

Is the parking lot at Whitcomb bigger than Thistle? Thistle is just too tight for a long bed crew cab with a 24' boat!

Just finished up a couple of rain, sleet, and wind filled days on Green Peter on Thursday and Friday, the 20th & 21st. Had a couple of my wife's relatives that hadn't been kokanee fishing before. The latest round of ugly weather combined with the lowering of the lake level to fill the reservoir below as well as keep sufficient flows in the river for the steelie and salmon run has caused the fish to move around. Therefore one has to go on the "hunt" daily. Both days started out slowly, and the fish had moved from the previous day as well. We managed to eke out 22 fish on Thursday and 27 on Friday. Not too bad considering.

Fish are up high, in the top 35 feet. Shasta Tackle UV dodgers followed by a variety of things worked. R&K hoochies were the best producers, with wiggle hoochies, Marni Bugs, Murphy Bugs, and some of my home-made spinners all contributed to the total take. The boys went home with their 49 fish and I even threw in a bonus of a few packs of my smoked koke. Sure am looking forward to some warmer weather though.

The way to go Ron, I just got back from Diamond. Sounds like you had good weather compared to us, we went over Friday and came back today. It snowed Friday and Saturday and blew and it was cold. I told one of my friends that that last fish I caught had snow shoes on. Today it was nice we got several nice fish but only one real big one. The ones we kept were 17 to 18'' real nice fish, but we put in the hours.signfishin101chromefish101
