Green Peter Reservoir - Update

Thursday could work for me as well.  I have to be back and start work at 4:00 pm though.

Wow, Wannabe has come out of hibernation. Nice to see you back on the board Michael!

I'm ready to head up there again soon, but my weekends in May are committed to family events so will have to make it on a weekday or two.  Anyone have mid-week time open to chase the Kokanee at GP?

I'm up for another trip either weekend or mid-week with enough notice. I'm out of town this week. Keep me posted.That bass earned a ton of points! I liked the spot we went, too, just because it was so quiet w/o lots of boats. I don't know if it will be like that later in the season.  If anyone is up for organizing a group, that would be great , too. I think I know what changes I need to do now to increase my catch rate. Those kokes were frustrating me.

I would love to check out GP sometime!   Thur/Fri work out the best for me.  Let me know as well the next trip you all plan to go out.   

I am about to leave town for a week so, tight lines if you guys get a trip together. I'll probably go again myself on May 10 or 11 which are a Thursday and Friday. If anyone wants to go on those dates, let me know...or Saturdays are good, too.

The 11th works for me.

Yaaawwnnn... Heh, yup, it's been a while. Just crawled out of the rain-soaked hobbit hole in time to scrape the winter growth of algae off the yak.

Will be headed out to Green Peter tomorow morning (thursday) to soak up some of this awesomeness.  Looks like Craig and I so far will be there.  If anyone else has the free time please join us.  If you dont have free time, well then your just going to need to make some! 

Anyone up for a GP run this Thursday?   

I took my wife there yesterday and was able to find a few schools of kokanee.  Most of the fish were down 40 ft in the main lake but the guys on the bridge were doing OK for trout.

Indyflyer and I are going back for round two on Friday. I expect we will go back up the Quartzville arm if anyone wants to meet up.

Not sure if I can make it this Friday but I will try to work it into the schedule.   

I met up with DTS yesterday and we hit it hard all day long. Here's DTS giving me a case of "hands-free-Hobie-envy".



I didn't get a lot of pictures but here's what I got, 13 kokanee and two trout. No AOTY upgrades for me among them but enough to smoke up a batch.



DTS might have some pic later. It was a great day and nice to meet another fellow kayak angler.

Nice job guys! How deep were you fishing, Chris?

Noah,
 I have no idea how deep but I had a 1 1/2 oz banana weight in-line and let it out 50'+ so I'm guessing I stayed in the top 20 ft. the whole time. One thing to consider if anyone goes up is that there is getting to be a ton of people up there now including the jet ski and amplified music crowd as well as a lot more boats than two weeks ago. Probably your best fishing experience would be in the mornings. It was OK and we didn't have a lot of competition but there was definitely a big surge in weekend campers last night.

I stuck with mini squid behind a 4/0 dodger with fire corn and also doused the squid with krill flavored Smelly Jelly every so often for what that's worth. At the end of the day we talked to a boater who started the same time as us and he only had four.

It was an absolutely fantastic day! I Had a great time.  I ended up catching 2 kokanee.   Thanks to C_Run Chris for hooking me up with a squid lure.  I would of not caught any kokanee if it hadn't been for that.  Thanks Chris!   

With the wedding ring gear that I was using, I got a ton of bites but no hook ups.  Dang nibblers!    I also caught three small trout and turned them loose. Only one of them on the wedding ring and the other two on a blue and silver spoon.
