Fished Riffe yesterday. Put in Mossyrock park ramp and fished to the point of the second Island up lake from the ramp. I had my five before I got to the 2nd island and had lost 2 at the boat and a couple long line releases. one was a 17 inch fat hog and the others were in the 10 inch range. I only marked fish if I was in water 65 to 120 feet deep. I fished 35-50 ft. on the wire 34 pulls back. Noticed every time I was bringing a fish in there were 2-5 fish following the hooked fish back to the boat. I got rid of the old fossil Rivera downriggers off my boat and replaced them with Scotty 1060's which made the day way more enjoyable.

Plugs thanks for the report, Are they letting a lot of water out of riffe yet?
Trollfisher-- The river levels aren't getting any higher so they are not dumping the lake yet but it is pretty low. I used the Mossyrock park ramp and the docks were high and dry. The water was about 25 feet past the end of the docks.
PS--- fish were all caught on a mack's gang flasher follow by 28 inch leader to a #70 green pirate\gold belly Hot Shot with double split rings to the hook so to get the hooks back behind the tail of the plug and they don't twist off as easy doing the spin cycle next to the boat.

Since they were landlocked salmon, as are kokanee, that like their saltwater relatives, they would turn into firetrucks.
