Thanks for the weblink Chuck. I did make it up to the Packard Creek ramp, but found that the asphalt ramp is currently out of the water. There was one truck stuck in the mud next to the ramp and another parked in the middle of the ramp with a fire going and 6 guys fishing there. I didn't ask...

ramp? ramp? Thanks for the link Grampa Ron. If I'm reading it correctly it shows that the Packard Creek ramp should still be useable, correct?

Way to go! Looks like a perfect day on the water. Yesterday we had 18" whitecaps by noon. But there's something about Kokanee fillets that make it all worthwhile.

Will these little guys turn into big guys anytime soon? I found it strange that we never really marked any schools on the finder but still caught quite a few. They must be scattered throughout? All in the 10-11" range.

Trolled from the North ramp to the dam and back. Got home by half time of the Oregon game. Couldnt keep the smolts off the rigs. Both long lining and downriggers caught fish. I returned them all and admit that I dont know the regs for these fish so I thought I'd better just enjoy a catch and...
