Kodiack, & Aluma165, we had a great second day on Anderson as well. The wife and I boated probably 50 Kokanee on day 2. We kept 40 that averaged around 13 inches, with some of the larger ones closer to 15 inches. You were right the skiers were terrible on day two. We spent about 7 hrs on the water from 7 A.M. untill 2 P.M. We fished the mouth Of Lime Creek in to the bridge tolling red wedding bands behind SEPs 3 blade flashers tipped with shoepeg corn. Trolling speed 1.5 mph and varying the depths on the down riggers from 12 feet down to 20. Guest asked me about filleting the 31 Kokanee the day before if it was much of a job. I use an electric knife for all my filleting. I doubt if it took me more than 45 minutes on the first day and maybe an hour on the second days fish, I don't take the skin off the Kokanee as we like to smoke them and they smoke better with the skin on. Sunday we headed for C.J. Strike for some Perch Jerking with my Cuz from Mt. Home. Three of us fished for 4 hrs. and brought home 75 perch. They ran from 10 1/2 to 13 inches. We caught them vertical jigging with cut bait in 14 to 18 feet of water. All in all it has been a great trip for 3 days of fishing in your great State. The weather got a little wild here in Mt. Home Sunday evening with high winds and branches being blown off trees and power outage for a short period of time. Thanks again for the info you BFT'Rs furnished us and I hope the info I returned will help you out some. Have a great 4th and "Tight Lines"[cool]
