I went to green peter 4-26-08. Four of us fished from 8am to 5pm. We caught 16 kokanee, 1 chinook, 5 planters. Two of us were Trolling downriggers at 20 to 45 feet. The other two were trolling out the back 15 to 45 pulls, the guys out the back caught more fish than the downriggers. The kokanee are starting to school up. We had doubles a few times. The kokes are a lot smaller than last year average 8 to 12 inches. last year they averaged 12 to 14. Good luck to all. Tight lines and no wind.

Great report,Ruinz, thanks. Glad to hear that about the downriggers as I don't have one. Did you see any bank anglers?

I like to fish from the park side at the dam, to the end of the south side. Then I go back to the dam and start over. I try to stay as close as I can to the bank as I can. 100 ft. to 40 ft. deep. Watch the bank if you see a point at the shore that point usually reaches out into the water and it can get shollow really quick and you can snag your down riggers or other rigs. Zig zag your boat and change speeds every once in awhile this often gets you a fish. #1 thing to use is white shoe peg corn drained, put the corn in a plastic container, drain two can of tuna oil into the corn, let sit over night. Cover your whole hook. Dont get this on your line or it will eat it. Keep it cold . Hope this helps. I dont fish around the island so I cant give you any insight on that. Good luck.

Raincatcher, Go to the bridge between thistle creek boat ramp and white comb creek park. Go out to the middle of the bridge. Fish the side that faces away from the lake. Use a buzz bomb 2 inch Holographic pink or blue. Use WHITE SHOE PEG CORN drained, put the corn in a plastic container drain two can of tuna OIL into the corn let sit over night. keep it cold in a cooler when fishing. Put one piece of corn on each hook. Drop your buzz bomb to the bottom , reel up two or three times and start jigging. Not to fast, lift up and let it fall. This takes some practice the kokanee don't bite hard, it feels like a faint nibble . When you feel this set the hook, you will miss more than you hook, because you have a lot of line out and that lessons you reaction time. They almost always hit the buzz bomb on the way down when your jigging. This bridge fishing is really good when the water warms up and when the fish are in their schools. Hope this helps good luck.
