Title: Ice Fishing for Kokanee Salmon (12-7-13)
Post by: MN Bassfisher on Dec 09, 2013, 10:57 AM

Kerri and I were headed into the mountains for the night so we decided to stop off at a Reservoir in hopes of getting a Kokanee or two. We fished for a couple hours and caught a handful of Kokanee and a Rainbow. We marked quite a few fish, they would rise in the water column but then swim back down to the bottom. The fish came on pink and white Tungsten jigs tipped with eurolarvae. We caught Kokanee from our kayaks this summer but neither of us have seen them in their spawning colors before so we were excited!
