How's about you share your secret? :lol:
Nice looking fish. One day I'll have that fishery down a little better. For now, I'm still learning.

[quote="BC38"][quote="asmith"]Kokes, yes kokanee, are a hell of a lot better than trout. I do like walleye, but I like kokes even better. And to me, crappie and perch are better than walleye. But the best tasting fresh water fish is hands down the burbot!![/quote]
Never tried Kokanees, or burbot, though I've eaten a fair amount of 3 or 5 kinds of trout, and of course salmon (Kings, coppers etc.).
If Kokanee is anything like either of them, it wouldn't rank anywhere near the top of my list. I'm not that crazy about any of the pink fleshed species I've tried. They're OK, just not my favorites.
Growing up in Missouri, I've probably caught and eaten my own weight in crappie and perch, and personally I like walleye way WAY better than either one. But to each his own.[/quote]

We might be out Saturday afternoon. My kids have a parade in creston at 11, so that kills my while morning. If I go, I'll launch out of porcupine.

Headed out tomorrow, launching at spring canyon with a buddy. I have still yet to find any numbers around the two rivers area, up towards hunters and up the arm to buoy 5. Figured I would try further down river.

Too bad I don't have down riggers yet to catch the record koke. They are nailing big ones down there.

In the warmer months 30 feet seems to be the best depth trolling a bottom bouncer with a walleypop or wedding ring setup. In the colder months theyre generally in the deeper channels and trolling in reverse often works best (low and slow) BC38 makes a good point jigging out of an anchored boat produces a lot of good fish I generally use a drop shot set up with a standard white swimtail jig and a worm. If you can get up the Spokane arm where it narrows drastically is where I do some of my best fishing from a boat or the bank! And I must agree with these fellas nothing in the whole of the Columbia compete with the quality and taste of a nice couple pound walleye. Though I've never gone after bourbot which ive heard is a cod relative and taste much of the same ahha northforker is also right about the Roosevelt being one of the best Kokanee fisheries in the world! We run the same setup you'd run for salmon just scaled down. A small hootchie or squid setup behind a small dodger or flasher. Sportsman and the white elephant sell many setups for Kokanee now!

Yeah, trolling is good if you're after trout.
Me, I prefer to anchor and jig for walleye.
Next to a good big white meat walleye fillet, trout tastes like A gob of mud full of bones...


Sorry but before you chow down on Walleye you better do a little reading about the state recommended
eating rate. They are a bottom feeding fish and lake Roosevelt has about a 100 years of smelter runoff

That is very true!! They hang those signs along many areas along the river I think they recommend eating walleye only 3 times a month I believe!
