For once a guide who explains how to rig your rod with weights, depths, and line distance, plus trolling speeds for fishing Kokanee.Thanks.

Thank you! After getting skunked last weekend I rewatced your video. I lengthened the line between the weight and dodger and it made all the difference. Thanks for the great content!

Thanks for the video Cameron! I am now sold on the Brads dodgers. Fished two rods the last few trips with the same setup except a different dodger on the other rod. The Brads killed it all day with the other only getting two fish.

Thanks Cameron! Perfect timing on this video. I got frustrated a few weeks ago trying to fish for Kokanee from my kayak (does not have down-riggers). I’m going to try out your methods very soon. These should help solve the line tangle problem that I had.

Caught your seminar at the PNW show,just awesome, thanks for the vid

I just started using led core line and it seems to work quite well it gets my lures down about 25-40 feet depending on how many colors you use.. when I film for my channel around where I live I only have to go down a few colors.. it isn't the most accurate though.. I'm looking forward to purchasing a boat of my own.. so I can put down riggers on it.. I feel as if it will open more content for me in the future

I use a paddle kayak so limiting drag is pretty important otherwise I'm paddling really hard to stay at speed and my action isn't right. Would love to see some videos on kayak fishing techniques.

My kokanee black rod is yellow and says eagle claw lol. Saving up for the kokanee black rod although I do really like the eagle claw.

I wish I would have seen this video a few years ago. This is exactly what I needed. I have been using a gang troll setup with weight on the rudder. It works but I'm probably losing more fish than I need to and I can't even tell if the fish is still on until I have it reeled in.

Late comer to this video, but crossing my fingers for an answer. I'm new to trolling and am wondering why he chooses braid over Fluoro line. Both seem to have an equal lack of stretch, but fluoro has its own sink factor and is a bit thinner than braid. Is it the cost?

Just starting with a single downrigger and having much frustration. We are still going with both for now. Thanks for the videos, this Sunday afternoon we caught 1 koke and 2 cutthroat on strawberry here in Utah. Smoked em up today using your brine method. Very tasty.

Great amount of info, without a bunch of nonsense. Thank you. That got you another scriber.

I need a video on tips for fishing WITH down riggers

Thanks for the tips Cameron. I am planning on checking to make sure all of my lead is at least three feet from my dodgers and will start running lines at similar depths with your suggestion of lighter weights and more line. Hadn't thought about the line weight either which may be tricky because I have two rods with braided line and topshot and two rods with mono.

This info is so valuable. I appreciate you guys!

I wish Minnesota had kokanee salmon. It's the best eating fresh water fish on the bbq. Plus they are a blast to catch!

Thanks for all the info you inspired me to start fishing

Great step by step. I have downriggers. I think its a better fight-no lead to slow the rod down. Thanks for the video.

For both trout and Kokanee I run a down rigger out both the left and right side of the boat. Then lead core out the center/rear of the boat over the motor.

Good information well articulated. Thank you

Well done. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Thanks for the tutorial I’m doing a similar tutorial on my channel but it won’t have Kokanee master Cameron

I love to see Ya'll do a Catch N Cook for Kokanee and Trout at Lake Billy Chinook outside of Madras Oregon. And do it right in the main arm of the lake by the island. I'm not so sure about Trout being in that part but there is definitely Trout on the Metolius Arm of the lake, obviously before you enter the actual river, same with the Deschutes Arm. Hope you do it one day.

I fish from a kayak and have the two rod endorsement. I put one line on the downrigger and have a setup similar to what you use for the other rod... Fish on!

Hi there, what brand Rod is that and what model is it?

Just in time for green peter this weekend, thanks guys. Can’t wait to break in my Okuma Black Rods. They handled some shad beautifully.

Great video and explanations, thanks a bunch!

This is a great video! Very informative! Thank you , sir!🤙🏼

Do you have a link for those sliders, that you hook your weight to? Great video! Just what I needed to see!

Well explained thanks

Used both at Detroit Lake 2 weeks ago. Looks like your on Detroit Lake ,just out from from Cove Creek CG boat ramp. Only caught 1 Kokanee.

I us a sethgreen rig ,it's a down rod ,lead core line and 3 leaders and 16 oz of lead .I normally fish in 100 -150 ft of water .But the last leader is about 90 feet

I would like to shop for the same pole you used in this video I can not see the full description or a link on this page. Can you help me with that? I LOVE ALL you Kokanee videos. And the others too.

Awesome thank you

Nice work hoss..well put

Man thanks for showing us cant wait to get out there and try this. What rod is that?

Do you recommend using the deep six divers too? Thanks!

Awesome video.

Great presentation. And good information. Question: why not use downrigger‘s? Reason I Ask I have relatively new boat no downrigger attached. Don’t wanna go through the hassle of getting the downrigger and all associated parts. Appreciate a response. Thank you

Thank You

How do you figure out the depth you want to run? Lot's of variables. Help!

It would be awesome to have the rig set up layed out and explained in order with some close ups. Total noob request but I'm a visual learner

Thanks for sharing. Do you stop the motor when you get a bite? If not, you're putting 4x the pressure on the salmon mouth, versus if you stopped the motor to reel in.

Would all that you mentioned work on trout?

I fish the exact same same way with the same rod off my kayak. Only difference is I prefer a inline flasher to reduce a little drag and help get deeper with less weight.

Good info

What brand and what size pink beads are you running under the plug

Always wanted to fish for kokanee

Hey and thank you very much for this video, it‘s exactly what I was searching for. I want to fish for von in lakes as well but there are also perch and Pike-Perch possible, sometimes also Pike. I would like to use 1 to 4 ounz lead (weight) and small lures like Tillins Cobra or Tasmanian Devils which I know from New Zealand where I was there years ago. I like the Okuma Kokanee Black KB-C-762ML (4 - 10 lbs) but I’m not sure, if it is the right one? And could you recommend a rod with trigger handle for trolling with Dipsys or Slide Divers as well? And I should not make any mistakes, because I live in Austria and have to order the rods in the US. Thank you very much in advance for your answer, Felix

Do you troll spin glo and KCP's at the same speed as a wedding ring or hoochie rig? Do you troll slin glo with dodger that swings or a flasher? Thanks!!

VERY GOOD video! Very informative. As for DR or no DR, I am fortunate to have them. I run 2 on my 16 ft Starcraft Supersport... currently. But before that, I ran banana weights when I trolled. I currently use Ugly Stik baitcasting rods, USECA702UL's 7 ft Ultra-Light that I got at Bi-Mart. Love them. Use for both Kokes and trout. 2 questions: 1) You add your slider then you tie on a bead chain or swivel. Which do you prefer? 2) With the Kokanee Killer, do you load up the inside with corn or anything for added scent? Thanks!

What is the specific rod in the video?

Would these rods take a 5-6oz CB? Or do you have another rod reccomendation for kokanee and using lead?

Hi Cameron I like your videos I end up buying the same rod in this video question would you use these rods to fish for Sockeye salmon at Baker Lake WA? I fish out of kayak for kokanee Thanks

What kind of slider is that for the weight?

The dodger and lure setup looks like it would be very effective. In the video you mention that you have 3ft of line between the lead and the dodger. It looks like about 10-12" of line between dodger and lure, is that correct?

Im having a tough time knowing if I'm acheiving the right depth when I'm trolling from my kayak. I feel like weight doesn't take into account drag from a dodger or a gangtroll, which could make it run shallower. Could depth be more accurately determined from line angle and how much line I put out? Thank you and I appreciate your videos!

I'm looking to buy a Kokanee rod to do this exact type of fishing. Could you please tell me which rod that is and if you'd recommend it to me?

Just curious about how you right your KCP ... Looks like you're using a rubber stopper on the line and one bead. Is this correct? Also, which hole on the front of the plug do you run your leader through? Thanks!

What is that line counter reel called? Thanks

I only use down rigger .

“ kokanee looooooooooooooooovvvvveeee corn” - Cameron black

Scotty downriggers and/or flatline. I do recall trying divers back in the 80's...I really don't remember if it even worked or not. But hey, we still used gang trolls (Ford Fenders anyone?) and snubbers back then, so...

Japanese use line coloured every 10 metres, which is roughly 10 yards. So you don't need line counter reels.

What the weight of your dodger

What speed do you troll?

How fast you trollin ?

What about down rigger stuffe

Crazy fish hahaha. "pushes kid in water"

Interesting that you only put one piece of corn on the hook sideways, I have always put the corn on lengthways and tried to cover the entire hook. Do you ever use maggots with the corn?

Ok but, what if I am fishing 150 meters deep. It will take 20 minutes to get near the bottom

Looked like Detroit lake.

I just use a pencil lead goes deep fast and trolls well …

Braided line = No Give ( Stretch ) Rips Lure from Kokes. Not Good

PROBLEM HERE IS, the FISH HAS TO DRAG that 4-5-6 OZ. WEIGHT AROUND.

Watch the weight of your dodger
