How many of you use worms early in the year for kokanee. Some days early in in the spring in Oregon, worms can be a very effective Kokanee bait. It seems after June the Kokanee have no interest in them.
I caught some nice kokes last August on large night crawlers. I don't know what to think about worms, except that it might be tough to keep the trout off of the hook.
I've always used worms trout fishing, and corn for kokanee. I might give the worms a try though. Are you useing them trolling or jigging?
On a side note...how did the maggots do last year?
