Title: Kettle Falls June 29
Post by: thinkingman on June 19, 2009, 11:31:09 AM: I've never fished the area and we'll be on a houseboat, with a skiboat and inflatable.
I've gotten some ideas but would like any info anyone can add.
Anyone going to be in the area during that time?

Post by: thinkingman on June 19, 2009, 01:16:19 PM: Yup.
Anything accessable by the crafts we have.
No downriggers...guess that rules out Kokes.
Trolling is also not likely.
I guess smallies and walleyes.

The fish will be in less than 25' of water. Dark color jigs are my choice, motor oil is a good color.
