Depends where you are at, Roosevelt should start getting good as the weather warms.

I've hit them as early as April, but May to June is when I really start wacking them. I'll start fishing for them when lakes open. Fish for trout and have at least one Kokanee set up out.

I fish for the silvers in Riffe every year but have yet to go after kokanee.

i've never fished for them. what's the go to lure or bait?

h20hunter · « **Reply #10 on:** February 13, 2013, 07:43:05 AM »

Buddy of mine slow trolls a little "koke candy"....it is like a wedding ring with spinner. Almost looks to me like a worm rig for walley. Most stores will have a section for kokes...just think "tiny salmon".

Here you go......most tactics that this guy uses should work just about everywhere.

Merwin Lake Kokanee

singleshot12 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 13, 2013, 07:48:06 AM »

hmm and since they're land-locked sockeye I'm thinking trolling a small dodger with a tiny bare hook behind it too

h20hunter · « **Reply #13 on:** February 13, 2013, 07:49:20 AM »

Possibly. My local lake is legal for chumming as well. Most people troll but a few drift with the occasional scoop of chum tossed over the side.

Dick nites ( pink) tipped with crappie candy, or shrimp fished at various depths on down riggers

Lake Conconelly holds some big kokes

dscubame · « **Reply #15 on:** February 15, 2013, 07:57:41 PM »

At night with a truck light shining in the water using maggets and glow hooks (charged by camera flash) at the thermocline.

That is a recipe for slaying Kokanee.

ML_Hunter · « **Reply #16 on:** February 17, 2013, 10:34:42 PM »

got the March issue of WA & OR Game & Fish today. They had an artical about catching kokanee's and I'm getting excited.

Going to do a couple more steelhead trips, then start getting ready for the kok's

On a side note, I may be moving over to the Moses Lake area if I get this job i'm going after...anyone know how the Kokanee fishing is over there??? I'll start a thread on it if I do end up moving that direction. And IF I do land this job, i'll be able to upgrade my boat AND get all the bells and whisles to go with it.

Fish like that would make a 6 hour drive worth while, lol

I would love to find time to hit Roosevelt again!
