Re: Rife fishing bridge?

Re: American?

I think it has more to do with the abundance of food in American. Kokanee are only hitting in the top very early and then being as cold as it is very finicky when they do hit as weather warms up so will competition for food then the bite will be on.....that's my story and I am sticking to it.

Re: American?

I think the water is still to cold cause everybody is seeing the fish on sonar, and there is no reason that I know of that the Kokanee should not be doing as well as the Rainbows which are really nice and plentiful this year

Re: chumming??? what to use

Things not to use: Eggs - (or any other bait) cured with sodium sulfite. Corn - Raw or cooked. Artificial Baits - Like Gulp and Power Bait. Not being argumentative in the least, but I was wondering why no corn? I was taught to use cream corn but received no info as to why and I would love to learn ...
