4/26/2010 10:01:00 AMNice work! There's a tournament on the Pend Orielle in about a month so I'll be headed up prefishing before too long. What kind of water clarity did you see? And if it's ok to ask, how were you working, fast, slow? Thanks for the info.

4/26/2010 9:16:00 PM@ fishing cougar, I was about 15 miles north of ione. @ ryancompetition, water clarity was fair (about 4 feet of clarity) on friday then the wind came in and along with the damn being down it went to maybe one foot of clarity. I worked it fast with breaks in pattern, the pike were hitting when I stopped reeling and the bass were hitting as soon as the spinner hit the water.

4/27/2010 11:10:00 AMTroutheart, were you north or south of the Box Canyon Dam? The reason I ask is because the box canyon dam is about 3 miles north of Ione and Metaline falls is 10 miles north of Ione? If you put in at Ione, is there a passage way that you can make to the other side of the dam or did you drive around and put in. I am just curious so I can get my bearings straight. Looks like you had some good production that I might like to try when I am up that way next time.
Thanks,
Lucius

PS throw the big ones back so they can drop those eggs!

5/7/2010 12:48:00 AMRiverview is between Cusick and Ione. I have pulled some huge fish out of this stretch of water, I own a cabin up the road. Please don't just give this info to anyone, make them earn it. Increased fishing pressure will only mean more rules for all of us. Challenge yourself and try to take these fish on a fly.
