Species: Kokanee
Fishing is: Slow
Location: Strawberry: Trolling between Hawspoint, Mud Creek to the Narrows
Depth: 10′ down in the water, 50′ out from the boat
What to use: Here is an example for a setup for Kokanee fishing, a flashing dodger with an 8″-12″ leader line pink squid, tipped with a Berkley maggot. Popular colors are Green/Yellow or Pink flashers with a pink or green squid, tipped with a pink or green Berkley maggot.
Technique: Trolling at .9MPH to 1.5 MPH
Additional Comments: Kokanee tends to be in deep water so middle of the lake is ideal. We recommend using a down rigger for the best results, but a leaded line can also be used.
