Hey, LR, I did that last week with my fave hoochie. Fortunately I was able to obtain several more. They of course haven't been working this week. Saw you out there today, briefly. I was farther east down the lake. Tried down by the dam but only little guys down there yet. The big ones...

Hit the lake Monday 7-27 to get my nephew out for a few fish. The weather was hot and the bite was a little tougher than it has been lately. Managed 18 before I had to come in and hydrate. Thursday 7-30, we did a little better. Got 22 but the kid was having trouble keeping the fish on and we...

Agreed Lip Ripper. I saw what was going on and was way too far down the lake to do any good. Glad you were able to help them. :clap: Between you and that big white trophy you guys seemed to have things well under control. On a brighter note, the bite was really hot early and then just...

Thanks for the input Lip Ripper. Pretty much doing as you suggested already. I have noticed that many of the fish caught were only hooked in the lower lip with the stinger hook. That leads me to believe that I may be 'ripping lips'. (Pun intended) I have tied and retied several setups today...

Two of us fished from 0700 to 1400 on Tuesday 7-21. We managed 36 fish. Probably lost a couple dozen others during retrieval, just plain not hooked well. Working on solving that problem. We should easily have each had a limit in the boat. Never-the-less, Green Peter continues to fish well...

I agree with Lip Ripper. The lake has fished exceptionally well lately. Two of us put 27 in the boat on Friday 17th by 2 p.m. I feel GPO fishes better when the lake level is lower as it is now. We still have at least 6 weeks left of decent fishing. By the middle of Sept. the kokes will...

I have been working over the 40 - 50' range lately. Find the largest concentration of fish on your finder and fish just above them. Good luck. See you out there tomorrow?

7-15 Very, very late start today. Lost my partner at the last minute, decided to fish solo and didn't get on the water until around 11:30 and finished up around 4:00. Still managed 15 fish. Largest 15". Guess I should have been there for the bite!!

mosd The most productive gear was a size 3 (4 1/2") Shasta Tackle uv sling blade followed by an orange/pink/purple color combination hoochie made by R&K spinners. Don't know where you can get R&K hoochies yet but they will be available in the Albany area in the near future I understand...

7-12 Two of us boated 35 fish for the day. Same gear and depths as post #13. Most fish 12 - 14", with an occasional 15". In two days I fished from the dam clear to almost the middle fork and caught fish all the way in pretty much open water. The fish are scattered but have started to cooperate.

Short, sweet, and to the point this time. 7-10 11 Fish kept, 6 released, and 5 lost. 45 - 50 feet, STC UV sling blade, R&K hoochie. 7-11 Finally a good day! 32 fish in the boat, 10 of which were released and under 10", same story, 45 - 50 feet, sling blades and hoochies again. Had to change...

I haven't heard from either one of them either, so I guess that is good news for all of us. We do, however, have a couple of other heavy hitters that will be attending. So it will continue to be a very interesting Derby. I have spoken to several that will be arriving on Thursday and Friday...

Spent a long half day on the water today and finally found a few fish that would cooperate. Seven fish in the cooler, seven others that kicked my butt. Much, much better that the past few weeks. Hoping the fish will continue to cooperate through the Derby this weekend. Green Peter is a...

OK everyone. We are looking for a bunch of OFF'ers to enter our Derby at Green Peter Reservoir on June 6. This is a special one this year and it would be advisable to enter early. (I believe "Troutski" came last year but didn't fish.) These are great events, a lot of fun, and proceeds are for the...

5-8 results Fishing at Green Peter hasn't taken off yet by any means. Certainly hope it turns on before the Derby, I think it will. Managed 9 fish to the boat. Released 5 due to smaller size. Kept 2 kokes up to 11 1/2" because they wouldn't survive had they been returned. The highlights of the...
