Last I heard was wish anywhere from 0 to 60 feet 13 to 15in kokes and spread out some near the dam some near the island and some up the arm the koke bridge is on I myself like the back side of the island towards that corner of the lake "elk flats" and up the arms haven't been up there myself yet but that's the last I heard

LOL now for a report for anyone who cares. Fishing was slow i would say...but we did manage to get 1 nook and two kokes and lost 4 or 5 nothing really seemed to work better better then anything else. we did have a triple up which was complete madness only got one of the three. Anyways weather kind of sucked but it was good to be on some water with only a few people around... Oh BRooster your a punk lol just kidding see you in the morning oh yay!!!

Going to give it a try on Monday. As always, any day fishing is better than a day working.

I'm no expert, but the last two weekends have only seen one trout for us. Talked to some people at the launch and they had similar experiences.

Posted on another thread - this was on saturday.

"We landed 2 kokes and 2 bow's (released). Hooked but lost 4-5 kokes. Had 4-5 drivebys that were gone before we could get to the rod. Hot lures were an orange and gold wedding ring and brass blade and a craft-store special (4 metalic blue beads then two silver beads then a wedding ring type blade). Both were tipped with pink gulp maggots (big fan of this stuff now). One had a sling blade in front and one had a flashlite troll in front. Fish were caught between 15-30' along the shore on the backside of the island."

Fished most of the day Monday. No bite near the Island. Slow bite up doward the dam. Wife, as usual, had the hot rod but only managed 2 to the boat with 8 lost. Also picked up a couple of small trout. Fish lier showed several large schools but never got bit around them. All the bites came from areas showing no fish. Home made pink 'rings with a glow bead center was the best behind silver cow-bells.

Thanks for the report, I will be heading up there Friday. So when I am up there and you have your BBQ running don't deny a hungry Ifisher

Fished GP last Friday the 23rd. I don't know how to catch koke's, but we did manage two limits of trout, and farmed off a few more in the process. We used all kinds of lures and scents and almost anything worked. Cripple lure behind a sling blade, hummdinger, blue fox, panther martin..... We had 'em flatlined behind the boat, but waaaaaay back. Sometimes 300 feet or more, doing the zig zag thing. We were south of the island along the main shoreline, near the floating outhouse, and there abouts. Trying to get my wife to go with me on Friday again, so of course I won't be able to catch anything then!

Best of luck,

Pete

Fished Green Peter today by myself. Did fairly well, boated 19 lost at least nine. If I hadn't been screwing around trying to boat them without a net I would have limited. Nice size, most 13-16 inches.

Headed to GP again this morning. Looks like a rainy day. Guess I will throw in the side curtains...

grumman16 · 05-03-2010, 08:34 AM

What depth were you catching them at? Those look like some nice size fish for this time of year. Nice work!

I was fishing the shoreline 5-15' depth. Green UV hoochie was hot In the AM. Purple when that died off then pink UV hoochies the rest of the day. Fished 50' behind the boat. Crawfish/anise scented corn.

Only boated nine keepers today plus a bunch of trout which went back in the drink... Weather was nasty! Strong Wind with much stronger gusts, rain sideways, hail no water spouts though, thank God!

It was a miserable day. Only brought to boat 9 not counting the several rainbows we released. Only two other boats on the water and both of them called it early. I was so tired when i got home from fighting the wind and waves I melted on the couch and was soon in bed. Not a day for the light of heart or small boat with no top. I wish I would have thrown in the heater and the back curtain as well.
