Anybody else getting the itch to get on the soft water? This nice weather has me thinking about Kokes and Bows!!!!
 
I got the itch but it's going to be a long wait out here in Ct. Probably 16" of ice and another 12" or more snow on top of that. Still single digit temps at night and 20's during the day.
 
we got out a few times last couple of weeks, while the weather was nice. We did decent, but the fish there were not schooled up yet, so it was pretty slow. 5 first trip and 4 the second. Few trout hear and there. Was just nice to get on the water. I feel more at home on the boat than anywhere else. The weather has not been holding, and I fear the ice is starting to build back up

I don't envy the reports I'm seeing but wish we could see more of a winter pattern here. Ice on was late coming & ice off is early. Been out once locally.
 
I was at Flaming Gorge did not see any Ice. Saw a lot of lake trout on the bottom but did not see a lot of fish higher up. The bad thing about this time of year is I start thinking about buying stuff that I don't need.

lol, i do this all year. real bad this time of year, cuz i cant get koks off my mind. so close, yet so far away........But I dropped $40 yesterday on hoochies and dodgers
 
I'm pretty sure there would be a hell of a turnout for those meetings! I have done quit a bit of tackle additions myself this off season. Looking forward to giving everything a try. Sounds like the lake has been getting some attention with this early spring weather, can't wait to give her a go myself!!!

I have made two trips to the gorge in the last four weeks. 1st day green gitizs 20-25 ft lots of rainbos second day tired of casting decided to troll for a while rainbo fishing was slower than pitching jigs but did manage to pick up several rainbos and 3 nice kokanee not big but healthy and I have never caught kokes in January at the gorge. On our last trip black marabou jigs were the hot set up fish were on the bottom early so pitched 1/8 oz. later in the morning fish were suppended and I went to 1/16 oz. both sizes were in black and with the barbs crimped down lots of the rainbos came unbuttoned but did manage to boat as many as we lost color on the fish this time of year is spectacular
 
Second trip

Onlychild do you have pictures? I'm sure we would all love to see these beautiful fish you speak of!
Bearbone the only photos that I had taken were of the scenery the lake was flat as glass and not a cloud in the sky petty4life helped me post my last photos sorry but I am not very skilled at this stuff

Launched the boat today for the first time. Was not at the Gorge, but Glendo and got one fat preggo walleye. Snapped a few pictures and let her go so she could spawn.
 
I've got so much that I need to just plain give it away so I have room to start gathering it all over again.

you can send some my way to lol I dont have nearly enough tackle.


im hoping to get up either the 2nd or 3rd weekend in april, figure fishing will probably be slow but hopefully can get a few
