I was surprized to see those small kokes were mature enough to spawn.Is that about the average size for that water?

There is no ramp there. You have to carry your boat down a steep dam face. Small boats that you can carry down to the water only.

What does a hum-dinger look like? How deep were the fish and how fast were you trolling? Also, did you tip your lures? Thanks for any help.[cool]

If you use something silver you cant go wrong. I cruised up there again the next day and had the same luck. Infact I'm heading up again right now again. Fish 15-30 feet deep and increase speed every once in a while to tease them. Make sure if you go up there you fish the scout arm, no where else was productive for me.
good luck, Hookjaw

Thanks. I'll try it next week maybe. How low was the water? Was launching easy or difficult?

ok I have a question.. I have fished all of my life and I am not sure what a kokanee is... I thought it was a salmon... at the risk of sounding like a complete idiot help me out here... also from reading these posts it sounds like the season for kokanee's is closed because they are spawning??? second, those pictures were great... where is causey reservoir and would that be a good lake to take my flyrod and pontoon boat to ??

Just a Note, I believe after the 15th of August you can't keep any with a red coloring to them as they are the spawners. I think all the ones in the pictures would be considered illeagle to keep, even the lighter colored ones. They start getting soft and mushy after they start turning color and aren't very good eating. We used to be able to keep them in Idaho when they were Red and I didn't care for them. [cool]

I've had my toon up to Causey and done well in the past. You've got to go deeper to get the kokes, but very early or very late in the day they are a little shallower. Good luck if you go.

so they are doing well right now then?? and kind of an ethical question.... should I not fish for kokes because they are spawning or is it ok to fish for them just make sure to release them all???
