Well, after arriving to 29* temps and frost on some of the grass and windows, we launched to heavy fog banks and cold at about 6:30 am. We headed to the Chickens to find some kokes but only found a 20" cutt that decided to foul hook itself and strip off 245' of line from my rod before giving up to the Ugly Stick. We fished that area for an hour or so and decided after no luck to head over to the narrows.
With high anticipation to get into the kokes, we fished our hearts out and tried everything and everywhere we could think of burning 17 gallons of gas and boating only 1 koke and about a dozen carp. It warmed up to a blistering 89* by the time we left at 3 pm and a little westerly breeze. Not sure what was wrong, we marked huge schools of fish in certain areas but they were not interested. Had a trip planned for the 31st, but i will spend my money elsewhere now. Time to store the boat i guess. My new favorite fish just got hard to catch.[mad]
There was significant const. in Daniels Canyon coming back and 20 minute delays both directions. Not sure how long it will last but be prepared for a sit in the truck.
P.S. Saw probably 30 bowhunters in various locals and not a one had a buck in the bag. I guess they are not amongst the 15% who fill their archery tags. In fact, i have only heard through the vine of 1 buck being killed yet.[shocked]

es Res. in Idaho for Kokes this Sunday with the same results as you...Threw everything at 'em, and not one fish. A couple of weeks ago we did good on them in the same spots, marked a ton of fish....nothing. Maybe the high pressure turns them off ??
