Where Have I Been?

[capron6]

Hello to all:

Where have I been?? I just discovered this site today, don't know what took me so long because I "cruise" fishing sites on a daily basis. Seems I either know or am familiar with ALOT of the members of this forum who have some great input regarding kokanee fishing so it becomes a natural site for me to visit regularly.

I live in Sweet Home, Oregon and my primary lake for kokanee fishing is Green Peter Reservoir just a short distance from my residence. During the "season" I am out there 2 - 3 days a week, sometimes more if I can get away with it. If you fish Green Peter look for a gray North River 19.5' Bayhawk with Cannon downriggers and some Kokanee Power stickers on the sides, and drive by and say hello!

On a personal basis, I am a Retired Fire Captain as well as a Retired Safeway employee. Currently a member of Kokanee Power in California as well as a member and Director for Kokanee Power of Oregon. Kokanee fishing is my priority and that is where I focus my attention. I enjoy sharing information about this very addictivie hobby and look forward to hearing from others that share the same interest.

Hi Ron!

Welcome aboard

And just think, if you didn't come fishing at Whiskeytown with your old (did I say that) college roomate Gary Coe, three years ago..... you wouldn't have caught the Kokanee Bug!

Glad you did, that trip was a fun one

Welcome Ron. We will be on the lake Sunday morning until it gets too crowded or windy. Maybe see you there but I know you like the peacefulness of weekday fishing.

3+ days of fishing per week! You are a lucky man. Look forward to your reports and knowledge.

Wow, thanks for the rousing reception. Glad to be aboard! Kendra you let the cat out of the bag didn't you? I guess I should have said that by fishing standards I am probably a "rookie" kokanee fisherman. However, with mentors such as Gary Coe, Gary Miralles, Wayne Douma, Robby Thorson, and Gary Gordon to name a few I have caught up with some old timers rapidly. I must say though that the greatest mentor of all is 'time on the water', and I get alot of that. dlm hit it on the head though, I fish weekdays when the lake is a little quieter. Green Peter is still not pumping out the fish as it has in the past. It is a little late in starting this year. The warm fourth of July weather might be just what we need.
