Just long-line (some use weighted line, I never felt the need) a one ounce banana weight, dodger or flasher string, snubber, start with long leader and shorten if you do not get bites to change the action a bit.
I have best luck with pink Power Bait maggots (never had any luck with any other color) on hook first, then a kernel or two of "white shoe-peg" corn under the maggot.

Believe it or not the single most effective technique I found to draw a strike from a Kokanee, is doing a "S" pattern while trolling. This will slightly speed up and slow down your lure. Another is if you get a hit, go to neutral and allow you rig to sink for a couple seconds. This can trigger a second strike.

Swilla bay was pretty hot last year, the local guide was working it hard and putting fish in the boat, head out of Keller towards the dam and it's the big bay on the right, if you go past Spring canyon campground you went to far.
We targeted Walleye towards the end of the weekend, the great thing about Roosevelt is something is always biting, enjoy yourself, it's by far my favorite place.

I fished Roosevelt for three days back in August, didn't touch a Kokanee. Last year was crazy, been going to Roosevelt for 20 plus years and never seen the Kokanee that big.i was at that bay if thats the one by the floating sani can.im really stoked about learning the area its so close.

Use your electronics to help find the fish and depths. White shoepeg corn soaked in tuna oil works well. On lake Merwin they like short leaders 8-10 inches behind dodgers.

I've been watching the reports on Roosevelt Lake all summer and waiting to see if it turns out fish like it did last year, but it didn't.
Brad's Kokanee cut plugs, work great :tup:

Thanks guys,im bound and determined to figure this area out ,
I wish it didnt take me till 40 years old to figure out that hiring a guide is the best way to figure out a fishery quickly. Hire a guide for the water you want to learn and it will be the best money you’ve spent.

Pink squid 1.5 inch double hook,behind a brads spoon 10inch leader..8ft deep
Yep, we found the Koke's were hanging higher and the rainbows were EVERYWHERE last Friday. 4 guys fishing, 20 rainbows and 2 kokes in less than 2.5 hours. Craziest and most fun day of fishing I've ever had, doubles and triples the whole time. Also saw two bears.
