Hey - who when out and how was the kokanee fishing?

What's the size like this year and how is the action?

[Castor]

hoping to get out to that fishery this year! would've gone last weekend but found out, at the last second, that the boat i was going to borrow had no trailer insurance , D'oh!

[Zackattack]

Planning to check it out this weekend..
Assuming the ice is off with this beautiful weather.. but can anyone confirm? thnx

[Rodney]

It's under 10 inches of solid ice right now.

Just kidding, plenty of soft water to paddle around on.

Fishing has been like any other opening month. Fish are there but just have to find them at 40ft deep on clear sunny days. Average size appears to be bigger for this time of the year, up to 15.5 inches long.

Have a good fishing weekend.

gave a good effort yesterday, some fish rising, we fished deep in 30-40ft of water, we trolled, and I gave an effort fly fishing, but we didnt hit anything, I missed a few fish due to me trying to multitask.

[Zackattack]

Thanks guys,
Curing some krill up right now

Warmer winter – bigger fish . More of it too!

[Zackattack]

skunked today... tried everything: bottom fishing, float, fly, gear...
didn't seem like other boats were hitting much either.
beautiful out there though nonetheless

Same report I received from another.

Did you fish until the end of the day when the lake was shaded?

[Zackattack]

Ya haha.
Will attempt again on an overcast day perhaps!

[Rodney]

Ah too bad... It can be such a frustrating lake because I've done either really well or really bad in all conditions. There really isn't a consistent pattern to follow.

[Ezio]

hopefully i'll be able to get up there again Friday afternoon for a few hours.  need redemption from the past few days I've had out there.

Where did you buy your krill from Zackattack? Thank you in advance.

[Zackattack]

Berry's.
Won't be buying it again though..
Will be using cured shrimp next time instead. The krill was soggy mush even after attempts to dry it out.
or else ill purchase it from First Light if thats the only other option..
checked 2 Bosleys and they didnt carry any.

I buy mine from the local pet store. Way better condition and price too, can't remember exact price but was under 10$. Bought one pack (6"x10") and lasted me 2 seasons so far without troubles. I vaccume pack after each use to eliminate freezer burn.

I bust off a chunk, defrost in fridge, sprinkle in pro-cure, soak for 4-6 hours in a jar turning every so often, take out and rinse lightly with cold water, place onto newspaper and air dry overnight for next morning of fishing. Works just like i procure my roe, slightly firm yet soft and still workable onto a hook. Sometimes a single krill will last a few fish being so durable. The rinsing helps elimiate the dreaded "pink finger" most of us get during salmon season.

Everyone at work used to laugh at me having pink stained finger tips and nails from Oct-Feb. Now when they see that i start getting little remarks on when i'm going to bring in some smoked salmon, lol.

Works for me, just my 2cents
