I caught Kokanee using a 1/32 or 1/16 oz tube jigs just fine using green , orange or yellow no beads. Simple. Toss it in and jig it. Works every time

@daviddean9633 5 жыл бұрын

My favorite lure is what ever is working that day. Usually start with what worked last time then work through different speeds and scents and some times leader length. This process is helped immensely if you have a couple people with 2 pole endorsements.

Last september and half of October i was driving and hr and a half targeting kokanee and finally after weeks and weeks i nailed 14 in a small pocket of water! It was so fun man not even pink yet all nice and silver. I used a kokanee killer and a blue fox with shrimp. Cant wait till that lake opens again in march the trout should be huge by then and a few months later the kokanee come back

When I was a lad and learning to fish, back in the day, in ancient times, before written language, when the Flintstones had the coolest car in town, we used to run the orange wedding rings with hammered silver blades behind cowbells and snubbers, ALWAYS with corn and/or fresh maggots. And we had every kind of drag-inducing contraption we could conjure up to try to slow down our old Mercruiser-equipped tri-hull. That was when most of us had two rods --- a trolling broomstick, and an 'everything else' spinning rod. We had no idea you needed thousands of dollars of fishery- and species-specific gear to fish.

Years back Pennsylvania had kokanee stocked in what was called Upper Woods Pond. The state stopped the stocking process. They actually removed the salmon from the lake. It's now a trout lake (specifically). In recent years, someone and not the fish commission introduced smallmouth bass to the lake. I've found the trout fishing to decline since the smallmouth were put in. I'm now asking the state to have the smallmouth removed from the lake. it won't happen I'm sure. But there are plenty of places for fishermen to pursue smallmouth in that area
