Green Peter Fishing Report

[FallRiverGuy]

Headed up to Green Peter Saturday with a friend who just mounted a pair of downriggers on his boat and wanted to break them in. We got a late start, 12:30, because we installed a black box for the downriggers before heading up to the reservoir. Started out on the East bank by the dam fishing four rods, two on each downrigger. A variety of lures fished behind dodgers worked, but different ones at different times of the day. Homemade wedding rings with real silver blades caught the most fish. The fish were anywhere between 60 and 40 feet. It was a good day on the reservoir and the fishing action was constant. We rarely had time to sit most of the day. Caught a total of 46 fish by 8:00 and lost a fair number too. These fish are getting fat and have some girth too. About 10 of the fish were between 13 and 14 inches. There should be some 15 inch fish by the end of July.

FRG,

Did you have to use the Thistle Creek ramp.

I heard the other ramp was unusable due to low water.

How big is your boat.

Thanks for the report

OTS,

I don't about the other ramp, but the reservoir is at winter water levels. We launched from Thistle Creek and did not head over by the Withcombe Creek ramp. I fished in my friend's boat which is a 21 foot Fish Rite. I have heard that the low water ramp at Thistle Creek goes a long way down and there should not be a problem launching there the rest of the summer.

Here is a link from the Kokanee Page that has pictures of the Thistle Creek ramp at various water levels. Check out the reservoir at 920 some feet, there is a paved parking area currently under water! images/icons/shocked.gif
