Wickiup Report

I've made two trips to Wickiup sense the last up-date and here are some of the fish I caught.




That's a 48 quart cooler and the fish are 14" to 16 1/2".

Here is the full report on my second trip that I posted on Ifish.

Got to the campground at 5:00 pm on Thursday, set-up camp, oh, did I say the campground was almost filled! I was about a 1/4 mile from the launch and pulled my boat for lunch and the night as there was no way I was going to leave the boat with everything in it.

Went out Thursday afternoon, the wind was blowing and the lake was white caped. I wanted some dinner so I got my trusty fly rod and went to town. Only managed one fish, that was dinner so I gave up of battling the wind and went in.

Friday was looking good, then the fog rolled in for a spell. Wasn't having much luck with the set-up I used last weekend, so I ditched the down rigger and just flat line a dodger and hoochie set-up(pink hoochie) and finished the day with 17.

Saturday was great right out of the hole, no fog, no wind and sun was just peaking up form Wickiup Butte, but somebody forgot to tell the fish that they where suppose to be caught! That day I switched to the fly rod and got 10 for the day using a green hoochie.

Went out Sunday, great morning again, only a little west wind and I hit a spot where I could do no wrong, boated 5 nice one's and then it slow way down. By 8 it was almost dead again and from 8 to 9, I only got two hits. Ended the day with 7. Packed it up at 9, broke camp and headed home.

I stopped by Odell on the way back, talked to a boat that just came in, they had there limit of 50. They looked to be 9" to 11". They where in the Trapper Creek Area. Talked to another boat, and they only had 3.

Meet Code4 there and camped with Salmon Loser and family. Had a great time, good weather, good company and came home with some fish.
