Anderson Ranch Reservoir holds some of the largest Kokanee in Idaho and is conveniently located within striking distance of the state's largest city, Boise. This narrow and long lake consistently produces Kokanee in 15-19" range class with the occasional fish over 20". Low water years and reduced Kokanee numbers have made limits harder to come by the past few years but its still possible to more than 10 lbs of Kokanee in the boat without much effort if you dial in on the right location, speeds, and depths.

NIce! I've been fishing Anderson off and on for nearly 50 years. Got 150 9 inchers in two days once about 30 years ago. The chinook have been a blessing. The last couple years we've had to fight for them a bit. Good to see you get a bunch. Maybe the lake is coming back around.

@normdeshon665 2 года назад

About 1980, my dad and I once took home our possession limit of 100 fishing Friday eve til Sunday eve. Another trip we fished all morning to land 3 fish. He fixed lunch while I cleaned fish. I got distracted by a big pike minnow under the dock, turned back to see a seagull swallowing the first fish I had cleaned.

@davidthomson4971 Год назад

Thanks so much for this video. It inspires me. Im in a wheelchair now after murdering more than my share of Puget Sound salmon over the last 60 or so years and I have to ask if it wouldn't be helpful to tell people to sharpen even a new Gomogatzu hook, fresh out of the package, with a small stone before it goes in the water. The repeated lost fish on that Portside rod looked to me just like great hooks that hadn't been honed until they stuck when dragged across the back of a thumbnail. Needle sharp. It's just a thought from an old guy that loves what you're doing but sharpened hooks sure made a big difference to Possession Point Salmon from the mid-fifties until just a few years ago. Probably still do.

I wanna take my old town pdl down there and launch without damaging my kayak.

@jdcrow807 2 года назад

Watching right now. Not to sound like an school teacher, Paul-lie-na peak. Used to be one if the greatest lake for kokes. Was an epic battle years ago between Paulina and Wallow lakes for the Oregon state record. 9-10 LB kokes. You are fishing way back. What’s the speed for that lake? The Paulina sling blades fish fast. Had great success with them on Wickiup, before it became the sacrificial res for the spotted frog.

@spiltmilt 2 года назад

Sorry 4 years of living in Central and South America speaking Spanish my brain won't allow me to say Paul-lie-na because there is literally nowhere else in the world they pronounce it like that aside from central Oregon. 😂

@jdcrow807 2 года назад

LOL! We get it all the time. It’s how we know who’s a “local”. Thanks for the video. I wish we had some size to our kokes. Everything is 12” max now. The Macs in Odell are getting huge though.

@craighoover1495 Год назад

I am familiar with this body of water from 1970 to now but have never fished it. I did work below the dam for Idaho Fish and Game in 1977 where there was a very popular single barb-less hook fishery. I learned to fly fish there and later worked for the same agency after finishing college. Did you fish there too?

No didn't have time.

Camp or stay in nearby towns. One of the challenges of filming is I have a lot of video that needs to be backed up daily and batteries that need charging so I end up in staying in hotels more than I'd like to.

Had a question. How does the clip in weight up your line when flatlined work verse a weight in front of the dodger ? I’m assuming it is acting as a shallow downrigger of sort? And also is that a Shasta downrigger clip you are using for your weight?

Your video inspired my wife and me to try Anderson Ranch. We’ll be there in early August. Is that a reasonable time to try for Kokanee there? If so, at what part of the lake would you recommend we start our search? We’re somewhat limited with respect to boat mobility. We’re in a 12’ aluminum boat with electric motor only.

@spiltmilt Год назад

Right out in front of Curlew Creek ought to be good at that time.

@steveliske220 11 месяцев назад

Our trip to Anderson Ranch was great! Fishing over 3 days was relatively slow, but we caught a couple 20 inchers that made the drive from Vancouver, WA totally worth it. We also got 4 more between 16-20 inches! Our previous best was about 13”, so you can imagine our excitement to catch such large Kokanee! Thanks for your entertaining, informative and inspirational videos, giving hope to those of us without traditional boats that we, too, can catch quality Kokanee! How can I send you a couple photos?

Sometimes I get tired of bringing bait, rods and gear for 3-4 guys and the pressure of trying to get them into salmon instead of myself..and being retired at 52 it’s not easy to find other fisherman to go during the week…

That's understandable. If chasing springers I definitely recommend a good drysuit. Mustang is my favorite but there are many good brands out there.
