Welcome Silver Bullets,
It is great to see more people from the northwest joining the site. When it comes down to it we're all a bunch of koke addicts. ;)

Hey Sportsfans!
I'm Rick Reese in Green River, Wyo. I was born and raised in the great state of Minnesota (walleyes!). I've worked for BP America for 26 years and all but 3 in Wyoming. I call this great state home now, lots of space and very few people. I'm just getting into koke fishing. Not the most challenging of fish but you can't beat them grilled! I have to admit though... you can't beat a relaxing day of downrigging. I always have an empty seat on the boat if anyone cares to join me. Just a little gas money and friendly conversation is all it costs!
Fish on!

Hi,
I am Brian Russell from Bend Oregon. I live about 17 miles from Wickiup Reservoir and 25 miles from Paulina Lake in Central Oregon. Wickiup is my favorite place to fish mostly because the fish size, on average, is larger than in most of the other Oregon lakes. I started fishing for Kokanee about 10 years ago. I only had a row boat and would row around Green Peter reservoir catching a few fish here and there. I learned to fish for Kokanee from a web site called the Kokanee Page. That was a great place at that time to learn tips and tricks. I have been an avid Kokanee fishermen since then.

Hello everyone.

My name is Kent Barnes from West Jordan, Ut. My wife Nicole and I won the grand prize at the Burbot bash put on by BFT. I found this sight looking for Halojm and his photos of past Kokanee trips. He is the one who will take Nicole and I out for our first ever kokanee fishing trip. I've caught a few of them being as I was born and raised as an Idaho fisherman. But when I joined the Airforce in 1982 at 18 the only fishing I did for 12 years was 5 - 6 trips out to Gatun Lake in Panama where I caught the mosat fish in my lifetime Peacock Bass. They pretty much jumped in the boat with you. 120 fish per person per day was an average back in 89 - 92. Squadron size fish frys. Got out of the Airforce and brought Nicole to the US with me. We lived in Boise till 1997 then we moved to Utah and I got a job with Salt Lake County as the Traffic Management Coordinator.
Nicole and I are so overjoyed at being able to go on a fishing trip with HaloJM. It will be outta this world.

We don't own a boat so we pretty much just fish from the bank. We did however take on Ice fishing for the first time this year. And I bought a used small fishhunter 360 raft with a Used minnkota 30 motor to use this comming spring/summer/fall.

We have two boys 16 and 18 who are super kids. We love life and the outdoors. My screen name on BFT is Im4trout and Nicole's is I8trout.

We will be fishing Causey this spring. I had no idea there where Kokanee in there.

Glad to be here.
 
Welcome aboard IM4trout. You won the day of fishing with Rob Chambers? I didnt attend the burbot bash, but it sounds like I missed a great time! You are in for a treat fishing with Rob. He will put you on kokes and show you what real kokanee fishing is all about. I am sure you'll be hooked! Again, welcome to the addiction of kokanee fishing!

Hey Don - Good to have you aboard and to add some more Kalyfornia koke addicts. We've met a time or two through A-NET and KP... I'm sure you are probably going to the SAC ISE show so maybe I'll see you there.

Hey all,

my name is Jeremy, I live in Fremont California.

I look forward to this site dedicated to my favorite fish
 
hello felles my name is norm lord i am the fishing lead at gander mtn here in pa born and raised in connecticut where i have been fishing kokes all my life
i still go back to ct atleast 20 days a year to fish kokes with my buddies who live there,, here in pa we only have 1 koke lake and it is in peril thats why i go back to ct often with my wife and two kids ages 6 and 9 to fish kokes,,i hope to travel out west and hook up with some of you felles to catch kokes west of the mississippi some day
 
It will be good to hear some eastern reports and techniques used.

Let us know the situation in PA and why the kokes are in peril. We have an interesting situation in California that has been brewing for the last two years where DFG is getting sued over fish planting in general, not just Kokanee, until they get their environmental impact reports (EIR's) in order.
