Kokanee are generally difficult to catch for the bank bound angler. However, ice fishing provides the rare opportunity for those without boats to target these fish that spend much of their time out over deep water. Tactics are simple and laid out in this video.

Tyler, great video! When you are ice fishing for kokanee, how do you select locations in a lake and do you stay in one spot all day or move around? Do you ice fish different locations depending upon the month, Dec vs Mar for example? I fish Eleven Mile in Colorado. From ice off in April to mid-July I can consistently find the kokanee while trolling in a few distinct spots in the reservoir. Between mid-July and January, most of the dedicated kokanee fishers I know stop fishing for kokanee at Eleven Mile because the fish become difficult to locate. I fish for them but cannot find them! In January the fish the fish show up under the ice in the same spots we catch them during the open water season. What advice do you have for locating the fish in the mid-July to early January time frame? The dominant zooplankton in Eleven Mile are Diacyclops and Daphnia. I suspect that the reason the kokanee are hard to find from mid-July to early January has something to do with the zooplankton density changing and likely location of the zooplankton. What I don't know is are the fish going super deep, shallow or keying in on some other food source somewhere in the lake. I also suspect that something is changing in January, again probably with the zooplankton, that causes the kokanee to show up in certain places...if you fished these spots in December you likely will go home empty handed but when January comes you suddenly start catching limits and seeing a lot of fish on your sonar. Any thoughts on what causes the kokanee movements or where to look for them during mid-July - January period? If you can help me solve the riddle I would greatly appreciate it! Your other videos have been extremely helpful for me. Your formula for Location, Depth and Speed has certainly improved my open water season catching. I feel like I am struggling with location for about half the year. Eleven mile varies from 10' deep at the inlet to 90' deep near the dam.

Love the videos as always. During open water season, are there times of the year/certain conditions that would lend you to to choose jogging instead of trolling for kokanee? P.S. that might make for a good video. 😉

There are many situations where jigging might be more effective for instance when Kokanee are in dense schools, feeding deep near the bottom, or in the back of coves where trolling might be challenging

@@spiltmilt Thanks Tyler. I always appreciate the input. I'm hoping to entice some Kokanee into biting on my local lake that otherwise aren't interested in my trolling offerings. We'll see how it goes. They are down at 80 feet.
