duksnfishI hit Ririe on Tuesday and got a big zero 
Brother in law got 1 to the boat and it shook off and that was it. Tried everything under the kitchen sink and still nothing. A good weather day and water temp was 49. Saw a total of 5 boats but didnt see anyone hook into anything. We tried around the dam to the power line and back. Saw a lot of kok's on the finder depending on depth of water but they generally were between 20 to 35 ft from what I could tell. I hope some others up there will chime in and hopefully things will start picking up.
But, first time out and felt good. That will be it for a number of days/weeks for me. Back surgery this coming Tuesday to remove a medical device so Im gonna be laid up and just be reading how everyone is doing on here and just dreaming what if. Good luck everyone and bring in the meat
I'm glad you got out, if I where fishing Ririe right now I would be targeting the top of the water column starting with my down riggers at 5, 10, 15 and 20' with 100' set backs using standard pink and orange Kokanee gear, sling blades and hoochies or spinners tipped with corn or Berkly maggots. One area I have done really well this time of year is where the lake takes a 90 degree turn to the west south of the dam on your way to the power lines, along the east bank going back and fourth about 100 yds. in each direction from the apex of the turn, doing s turns from 30' to 100' off the bank. I have also found them in the area between the power lines and the floating dock just past the power lines.
