Gotta agree with Super D...green goo 95% of the time even if there are mysis present...at least where I fish.

How you fishin' em Jim? I've never caught or even fished for Kokes out of Tally...always pike outta there for me...

just a point on the whole E chip deal...the E chip is said to mimic the sound of a wounded bait fish or give off the electric impulse of one... Kokanee aren't fish eaters...now mind you when they get big enough they will certainly eat small fish, but primarily they are a krill feeder, so the E...

That's an awesome Rainbow!!! She's got my biggest one out of there beat!!! They bend those Ultra-Lite rods almost to the water don't they...I'm glad your trip was successful...what part of the lake were you fishing? Next time you come up, we'll have to have a meet n greet!

Glad to hear your fishing went well! As the water in Koocanusa warms the Kokes drop a bit. Were you using any attractors in front of your wedding rings?

I use 4-6lb line on my Koke rods....I use 20-30lb line on my Kamloops/Bull rods... I fish Kamloops with plugs, Apex and flys all over the water column. I don't stick with just one type of lure based on depth. I've never caught a real big Kamloops. Biggest I've caught was 5 3/4 lbs and that...

I do target the Rainbows and Bulls... BUT... The bulls are about 50/50 on targeted gear and Koke gear. The rainbows have always been on targeted gear. And Big Bulls(5LBs and up) will take a small koke lure right at the surface, so make sure you know your drag and have decent light weight Koke...

I never have, and the stocking report doesn't list that lake as being stocked with cokes, all but 3 times in the last 10 years and the last time was 2008... Do you catch them in there very regular?

Ya I live in Whitefish and I fish Koocanusa as often as I can. It is one of my favorite lakes. The fishing is often not fast a furious but when you do get one on its usually a great fish!(Speaking of Bulltrout and Kamloops Rainbows)...The Kokes can definitely be hit and miss like anywhere but...

Almost every gas station/mini-mart in Montana sells bait...maggots, wax worms, night crawlers, red worms... They aren't hard to find! Good Luck!

Alot of people actually jig for Kokes in open water on Koocanusa. I have found that if you troll, you catch bigger fish than if you jig. Jigging gets more fish, but you are fighting alot of 7-8" little buggers to get one nice 10-12". I love using Apex Kokanee killers on that lake....FireNIce...

From another source I found out the ice is off the lake...I think I'll pay it a visit this weekend...

Is the ice off the lake yet?

The annual Bitterroot Bash is this Saturday and Sunday. This is one of the few Kokanee tourneys through the ice, if you pride yourself on being a dyed in the wool, Kokanee fishing machine you should give it a try!

thanks Jim, Funny thing about the whole night fishing thing for Kokes....I've never done it...never felt like I needed too. If I can find Kokes I can usually figure something that they will bite on....

So I'm headed down to LMR tomorrow. I have basically Zero experience on this lake but only hear about guys catching Kokanee during the night on this lake. Now I've been to other lakes where guys make that claim and I've always been able to catch Kokes on these other lakes during the day. Can...

Was the guy you fished with named Kevin? If so He taught me how to fish for Kokes...

Fished today from 7:30-2:00, lots of fish on the finder and on the camera. They would chase the flasher on the drop but then bolt when it stopped. Only got 4 fish all on different color droppers and peppered throughout the day no hot bite time. I think this weather has them a bit lock...

OK Boys, I have fished one time on lake Placid last year and I really liked it...caught some nice perch and didn't realize there were Kokanee in that lake until I was getting ready to leave... Maybe we should plan a meet and greet down at Placid...Im also active on IceShanty.com and there are...

Lake 5 is producing, bigger than average for that body of water this year. If you would like tips on what works PM me...
