Hello Idaho
Well we did it again, I got on the water way late around 10:30am and put the boat in the water and headed straight to the dam right up the middle and BAM not 5 minutes and i had the first 2lb er netted and on the stringer, get to the dam and turn around to go back to the dock cause we wanted the pop gear off another pole we left in the truck so on the way back BAM again, I got another 17-18 incher, so i had my limit in about oh i dont know but had to be less than an hour. The other two keepers kept us there til about 2:30pm but we came home with 4 very nice fish, we threw back 3 others that were healthy but not up to the size we wanted. A great day by any means. Once again we used our faithful pop gear, brass/silver, wedding rings (bright yellow color was the trick, these are home made)tipped with a little worm. We were going out 25-30 yds(21/2 to 3 colors) with a 1/2 oz weight in front of the pop gear, you want to be either hitting the weeds lightly on top or just above them, the fish were hiding in the tall grass.
If they are going to salvage this lake i sure would like to know because there are some very nice fish in this body of water and i sure wouldnt mind stocking my fridge with em. I tried to find out info on Idaho Fish and Game site but no luck, can anyone tell me anymore about this salvaging going on and when?
