I'm Burt, 61 y.o. retired Army pilot, located in S.E. Boise. I mainly fish Kokanee in Lucky Peak or less often Anderson Ranch. C.J. Strike for trout occasionally in the fall. I try to hit Henrys Lake each October for the big Cutts and Brookies. My boat: Alumacraft 16.5 Navigator Sport with Yamaha 60hp & 4hp kicker, color/gps finder, dowriggers, Lamiglas & Vance's Kokanne rods w/Shimano and Tica level-wind reels; I tie my own hoochies and run all sorts of combination flashers, dodgers, bugs, with scented white shoepeg corn, etc., etc.. Always experimenting with the Kokes. I smoke most of them and grill a few as well. I'm a vintage spinning enthusiast with numerous Mitchell 300's/304's on Shakespeare Wonderods and Heddon glass rods. Upland bird hunter, and antiques dealer and collector. Civil & Indian Wars, Idaho Territory, Idaho Mining & Militaria collector and dealer.
Glad to share knowledge and chat in all subjects. Waiting for the kokanee bite to begin at Lucky Peak. Will try next week for first trip of the season if it warms a bit and the wind stays down... Usually by first or second week in April you can catch scattered Kokes and bows flatlining and then the kokes bunch into columns or pods at depth and you need downriggers for the bigger bites. Good luck to all and have a great season.
This is a superb forum with much expertise and a willingness to share! Glad to see so much participation this early.[
