I made it out today. Got on the water at 530. Picked up one koke right off the bat. I fumbled around getting my Judas balloon ready and lost my fish in the process. An hour and 3 hits later I finally land another. Decided to pop the ballon and just troll. Stayed on the water till noon, and brought home 5 fish. It was still way too slow fishing for this reservoir. Again the red hook squid was getting the most hits, while I rotated different lures, dodgers, scents, and bait combos on the other rod. Until I switched to a plain bead head nymph. I don't know the name but it was small hook wrapped in a dark purple thread with a white bead head, and put it about 8" behind the dodger. This combo caught most of my fish. I would be willing to bet a San Juan worm would work just as good or better. I met a guy on the water that called me the most ambitious guy he ever met after watching me paddle for 3 hours. [blush]
The pig is just dead. Not sure I'll make it out there in from now till August unless a good report pops up. Looks like I'll take my paddling circus to another koke reservoir.
