Ririe Kokanee report

[maghunter]

Well fishing was kinda slow today but we had a good time. We started out fishing near the ramp and it didn't take long and the Kokes came in but didn't seem real interested in being my dinner. They would hang around for 10 minutes or so and then leave and come back after 30 minutes or so. They stayed on this cycle until the sun came out from behind the clouds and then it was dead. We managed to hook a few despite their reluctance. I decided our best chance at any more action would be to try and find some perch and trout. We headed to the west side and started marking a few perch on the humminbird flasher but they had a case of lock jaw. Ended up with 2 nice perch and a trout. We gave up about noon and on our way out stopped by to see if anybody had gotten into the kokes. They reported the school had been by about every hour but very few had been caught. If you are new to ice fishing don't be shy and try to join in with a few groups who look like they are catching some fish. Almost everybody up there will give you a hand. I always seem to catch more Kokanee out of other peoples holes than the ones I drill. Good luck and let us know how you do.
