lake billy chinook

[dyhrdelkhntr]

I am headed to the lake next weekend. Can anyone tell me what has been going on out there lately. I have only been there two times, never fished it. I saw a guy walking out of there last night with a stringer full of smallies. I heard that on the metolius arm they knock the koke's dead with a wedding ring.


How deep do you fish for koke's and how do you use a wedding ring.

Also do you guys have any info. on locations for bass and koke's. We will probably also throw some power bait out for the kids.


Help please.

Worms and worms for the smallies....wedding ring with a flasher or dodger 2 to 3 oz. of weight 25 to 50 pulls until you find them. Good Luck....

and white corn on the tip of wedding ring or whatever else you would like to pull.

I used part worm with the white corn with good catches at odell.

Pretty much all the banks hold smallies, we use 3" grubs on 1/4 oz jig heads and bring plenty because there are lots of small ones that will eat your tails off. My favorite koke set-up this spring was a mid-sized purple slingblade in front of a pink apex. We used corn with kokanee special on it. That being said we also caught them on a variety of wedding-ring spinners with glow green being the most consistent producer, and even caught our biggest one on a green kokonut. We were running between 15 and 25 feet deep but the water has warmed significantly since then so it is either trial and error or watch your graph.

I haven't had much luck catching kokanee's anywhere, Billy Chinook is no exception. I'm considering yet another trip for them anyway with a new set up. I'm going to put a Dupond spinner on the down rigger and drop it down 50'!:excited:

for bass, any color of a small(1"-2") curly tail jig, purple or brown works best. other good producers are rooster tails or rebel crawdads.

this weekend was not the best. lots of SMALL bass and not alot of kokes.

I was there last weekend and I caught an 8 inch rainbow on the 1st night before sundown off the dock at Perry South with an original Powerbait marshmallow (yellow) on a wedding ring spinner with a red/white bobber set to about 2 feet of depth.

I was reeling it in and he hit it like a torpedo and the fight was on.

We caught some small bass on worms on the hook with small flasher of any kind on it all weekend. Had a few keeper sized ones, but no one wanted to, so we caught and released instead.

Everyone else I saw were catching a little of everything in the lake.

Corn, worms, and Powerbait seemed to have the best luck.:D
