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]

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".

[h20hunter]

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

Merwin Lake Kokanee

[singleshot12]

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

[h20hunter]

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
