Wounded Warrior Fishing Day-Washington

[lowe1648mt]

Kokanee-Toni,
I'm lead to believe that Koknee are in short supply on Riffe Lake. If we as a group can come up with enough kokanee to cook, that would be a good thing. As I just smoked my last frozen koks from last year, I doubt the will last to April 20th. Can we count On catching enough koks this spring to fill the bill? Early season can be fickle up here. Good idea.
My wife Anne and I will be at the show Friday afternoon.

I still have a freezer full of fish......and will likely be adding to it long before April. I had plans of Smoking up a batch before the trip, but I will likely be able to provide some fish. (Im one of those that love to fish but eating it is another story)

 

[Kokanee-Toni]

There aren't any kokanee in Riffe.
I have no idea about catching in April there.
I was still waiting to find out if the dock will be on land or water?
All my kokanee are in jars. I said kokanee because this is the Kokanee Fishing Forum.

I thought that we could have some fish there. I can make a spread of kokanee for crackers. If someone has some smoked for our vets to try? That is what I was thinking of.

Kokanee-Toni,
I will find out about the ramp, if possible on Monday. Sounds good about Kokanee spread on crackers.

I like the idea of smoked Koks for trial for the Vets. Does anyone like the idea of cooking up some of the Coho for every one?

 

[lowe1648mt]

The water level on Riffe Lake, at this time is just off the ramp. The parks people I talked to said" It will be on the ramp before April 20th. However it may not be up to the dock." If you want up-dates on the level, call 1-888-502-8690.

Thanks for the info.

I should be available to take two vets out on the water( will have a better idea of that on the first of March).
Riffe Lake holds Landlocked Coho(very good eating when bled out and then bar-b-qed) and the fishing is very good in April w/dodger and a green/red wedding ring tipped with worm or sented shoepeg corn on the highway side trolling east from the dam along the shore line with the downrigger set between 10'-30' depending on the moon phase.

Lowe1648mt, they are right about the water level, they dont really start raising it till the first week in May to be at full pool by the end of May (depending on snowpack). The docks have not been usable in the past during April but the launch is not too bad. ttyl Robert Cgraggen

count me in IF my new trailer is done, wouldnt trust old rusty to travel down that far, i have room for one in my boat.

 

[lowe1648mt]

Thanks for volunteering Steelheadin360 and rcjeep37. Rcjeep, thank you for the good input on the lake about what I've heard for the last 8 months. Nice to have it confirmed.
My Wife and I will probably camp Friday night and Saturday night as it is a long drive from my house. Anyone interested? We may be able to gt sites close together and near the picnic shelter.

I've had a couple of offers of donations of money towards food and such. I still like the idea of cooked Koks, smoked Koks, and B-B-q'd Coho. There may also be people that don't eat fish. So I plan on hamburgers or hot dogs also.

I have to wait to see what I can do about food until closer to the date. I am still hoping my boat will be done by then.

 

[lowe1648mt]

Hope so too. If not, I'd bet you can find a ride on another boat. Some of us could use a few pointers from your pro's point of view.

 

[kokanee_slayer]

Chris, I'm willing to pitch in for food as well; I'll touch bases with you as we get closer to the event.

Toni, Hope your boat is ready as well. If not, as always' you're welcome to ride with me.

Thanks for the offer, We will see what is needed when it gets closer.

[Scrminbanshee]

Well i hope to make it but i can't commit to it just yet. I love riffe and would love to get down there a bit more.

 

[lowe1648mt]

I hope you can make it also. It would be nice to meet our new members.

Chris,

I'm in as usual and let me know if you need help with funds. I think we will be just fine with the lake level at that time. Sorry I didn't reply sooner works been hectic.

Darren,
Everything will be taken care of. I see no problems at this time.
Bring your son if he wants to come.
Thanks, Chris

 

[Get'nJiggy]

I'll be available to take at least one if not two people out. Just let me know...

Glad to have you. I think that w have more boats than wounded. No problem. If that turns out to be the case, we can share. That way the vet, can see how other people do it.
