--I went last year but didn't have a chance to fish. Got to meet with Gary from FWG. I've been trying to get his gear and other kokanee specialty gear for sale in BC. Great to actually talk to the guy. Macs and Hevi beads as well. All made time to discus their products... and they all actually...

--in BC there are several lakes and all streams that require use of single barbless hook. --if lots of smaller kokanee I use barbless to allow more to escape before capture at the boat. Often find the second hook in the gills or through the gill plate thus no way to release the fish. --other...

-interesting idea using an umbrella type rig. -I was thinking of using the UV mylar trolling rig as a jig set up. -often kokanee fishers here set up fairly close together creating their own school so an individual rig may have similar effect. -just getting ice on here so haven't tried these...

--What are you using for Ice fishing. --A popular rig here is a casting spoon blade with short leader to a grub rather than jig or spoon with hook attached.
