of course you can. I have fished for them before, I usually catch them as a by catch when targeting char. 10 mile lake has some large and hungry koks..

the fish finder screen shows the depths and the schools of fish on the screen. I assume were kokanee as i did catch i think around 6 that day. soft mouths so tend to lose many or just not set the hook well. Nice fish- most are around the 12" range. I was using shrimp with small hook- seemed to work well when the schools were near by:

Cool kokanee. Nice fish.

They look tasty!

A couple of questions for you.
What kind of fish finder do you have there?  Hummingbird model?
Is it pretty sensitive? Can you see yourself jigging?  Worth purchasing in your opinion?

Cheers,

Trevor

its a portable hummingbird piranha 215. if the sensativity is increased and you have a large 3-4" jig yes you can see yourself jig- it will show your lure at a size small fish and always at the same depth. Sometimes i feel its not very accurate tho.  I wouldnt purchase this one- i think i would get next one up ones as i think they are a little better.
Kok are really nice eating fish.
