Kokanee are biting
« on: Feb 08, 2017, 12:55 PM »
Been stalking this lake for a while now with little luck. Caught a number of decent trout during my search, all released. Caught a single Kokanee on the weekend. Decent size 17" to the fork.



Went back a few days later to investigate a few more locations and finally found them. Largest is 16", smallest is 13". Smoker time  ;D

Sweet.  17" Kokanee is definitely a decent size imho.

Nice feed of kokanee.  Only ever caught 1 summer trolling, never through the ice.  What depth did you catch them at.  Some fish 20 - 30 ft and some fish 80 ft.
Wishing I was Fishing.

Hey tigrr, still waiting to fish lakers with you!

I caught the 17" at 35 feet down in 114 feet of water. Spotted him on my Marcum first and surprisingly he hit hard like a rainbow and peeled line. When I landed him it was a really nice surprise to see he was a Kokanee.

The next batch were all within 10 feet of the ice so I was able to sight fish for them in my tent. Incidentally I forgot my rods and sonar at home so I hand-lined these ones old school.
