But we couldn't get them to bite. A lot a fish showing at 25 feet also, so me and Shawn had our down riggers at 75 feet and 25. We got rainbows regularly at 25. Shawn started catching them on a orange dodger and orange huchie. He asked me if I had anything orange, so I put on a small orange flatfish and started nailing the trout at 25 feet. I eventually gave up on kokanee and fished another orange with black dots flatfish and caught them on that also. Nothing big, but good 1 1/2 pounds. It was fun and kept us busy until near noon. No pictures, all fish caught and released.
We fished Ririe 10 or 12 days ago from 7 AM till 11 caught one rainbow but we’re trying for Kokenee.We also grafted what we thought were Kokanee that we’re down deeper. We fished between 4 lines ,25 and 50 feet mostly.
This was our second attempt this spring and still nothing. We did catch one last fall but none through the ice this winter.
