Fished Ririe from 7 am to 5 pm on saturday. Fishing was slow. I first started fishing for the kokanee just north of the island. For the past month that has been very productive. Saturday i fished it there from 7 to 9:30am. Not one bite. No one around was catching much. I saw two guys pull three out but that was it. They were more towards the south of the island.
From 9:30 on I went down to where the trout usually hit by the rocks but nothing there either. I finally moved after only catching one sucker and had two other bites. I went to the west side of the lake and there caught one perch (9 inches) and had two other bites. That was it. The whole day was really slow. I met Bill out there and he too said the fishing was slow. I don't know if it was just that one day or if the kokanee bite is starting to slow down now. I might have to give it one more try before I start looking for the bite on another body of water.
