Pretty much the same story--got there at about 0800--limited out by 0930 on Kokes. One pole was rigged with cowbell and a koke killer and the other was rigged with a Double Dees flasher and a pink wedding ring--fished about 20-25 feet deep with some action at about 10 feet--most of the fish were caught trolling south with the wind at our backs. Only fished around the point and to the south of Spring shores. Going back in the am to do it all over again--oh-used both white shoepeg and colored with scent-shrimp worked best but they all worked as did about any lure we used. Good fishing![cool]

Dear Fishinotis,
It has reallly been consistent fishing, hasn't it. I think all of us should drop an email or phone message to the F & G thanking them for increasing the plantings at L.P. I sometimes worry that they will write it off as a waterskiing lake, as they did with Payette Lake. Maybe we need to remind them that the fishery is indeed being utilized. I am going to try and get up there next week myself. Mike

Fishinotis: Thanks for the great reports. How many of them were on the bigger end of the scale? Our last two trips produced only 3 15"+ and the rest of the 28 fish were all 10" to 12".
Mike: Agreed. F&G has done a great job with LP. I emailed the Statesman with photos and a note. Roger Phillips said that Zimo was planning to cover local kokanee fishing in the next week or so. Haven't seen a thing about it this year...
I'm heading back up around Tuesday and plan to go initially to areas that produced larger kokes in the past. Maybe try deeper sets. May wind up in the narrows but I'll try some of my old haunts first.[

75% of them were in the 12 inch range--I talked to a friend who said he was at arrowrock a couple weeks ago and the Kokes were 14-18 inches there--i might need to go up the road a bit and check that out--good fishing! ><)))<>
