newbie Thanks all for the tips. I'll keep at it. In the meantime I plan to go out at night and still-fish for them. I've done that before and have had a lot of success.

Skookum, I have no way of knowing how fast I was trolling as I do not have a mph gauge on my boat. It was quite windy so probably trolling slower going against the wind than going with the wind. Also trolled in zigzag fashion so had varying speeds. I had the motor going as slow as possible...

Thanks for the tips. Guess I'll have to experiment. I love fishing for kokes at night while anchored but am new to trolling for them.

newbie Thanks, Sawtooth. Do you happen to know the answer to the leaded line color question?

I've been out twice and trolled for several hours with no hits at all. Others coming in said that they had good luck. I was using the same things that they were using: wedding ring in pink, maggots, rubber snubber and 4 inch dodger with leaded line. They indicated that they were down about...

I have a question regarding anchoring to keep the boat as steady as possible under windy conditions. I do some night jigging for kokanee and I want to keep the boat as steady as possible. The kokanee bites are so light that any kind of wind or boat swinging makes detecting the bites next to...

Montana Kokes Kody, I'm not sure how the fishing is now but in years past, we had great success fishing for Kokes at Lake Mary Ronan which is north and west of where you are at. We used to catch crawdads at night and then jig for the Kokes using crawdad tail meat for bait. I have heard rumors...
