Heise Hot Springs & Ririe Reservoir - Lundman - 05-08-2015
Hi BFT'ers - I have a friend that is retiring on Jun 16 in Idaho Falls, He loves fishing and I was wondering if Ririe would be worth dragging the boat up from Salt Lake to enjoy a morning of fishing (maybe for Kokanee) and an afternoon relaxing in the Hot Springs at Heise.
I have already purchased the non-resident AS boat stamp and second pole permit and was hoping for a little intelligence.
Thanks for anything you wish to share and hoping I can get a ticket on the retirement train sooner than the 10 years I have to go....

I'm not sure on the distance differences, but if you like bass, perch, crappie, then cj is another area to look at. Good luck

CJ Strike is more than 200 miles from Idaho Falls . Are you trying to do everything in one day ? It is very hard to learn a new body of water in 1 day . One good thing is Juniper Boat Dock on Ririe resivior and Heise Hot Springs are less than 20 miles apart .

Juniper and Hiese is doable. Koke fishing this spring has been slow. I've done the best mid-lake and the power lines. Pink and green wedding rings tipped with corn has produced fish. Pink\green\whiite hoochies with corn also works.
Most fish have been 20-30 fow, so a down rigger or leadcore line is necessary. I've caught a few 16 inch ones this spring though.
Hope this helps. Enjoy the retirement party.

Thanks for the information - much appreciated - I'll hope to make the trip as I have to buy some new boat trailer tires and might as well get some miles on them right away.

Another suggestion is a dodger with either a green or pink hoochie. Three feet on front of your dodger put a swivel with a bead and an ounce to an ounce and a half of lead at 1 to 1.5 mph will get you 17/22 feet 2 Oz at that those speeds will get you to 30 ft or so.

Yeap.
A boat is never any good. Until, its in the water. Then you wonder.
