Hi everyone my name is Robert and I have become addicted too kokanee fishing. I have visited this site numerous times to get tips/tricks and latest reports on fishing. Im very happy I signed up to this great site and fishing community!! I started fishing at a young age growing up as a kid in the Philippines. That's pretty much all I ate was fish and rice. I love too catch for all types of fish but the last 7 years I have been a hardcore Salmon and Steelhead fisherman. I always heard of kokanee but never really gave it a shot until this year. I did alot of reading online and watched Youtube videos on kokanee fishing. I bought a 15 foot Alaskan with a 15 horse Evinrude motor. Here is what I have for gear so far. Please let me know if I need anything else. 2 mini troll downriggers, 2 scotty rod holders, hummingbird fish finder, 2 shuttle hawks. For tackle I have 7'6" Lamiglas Jerrod Johnson Edition w/ Abu Garcia BCX 5600 baitcast reel and a 7'6" Okuma SST Kokanee w/ Abu Garcia 4600 C3 baitcast reel. Im using 8lb Viscious line on both setups. Im using various flashers and dodgers with hoochie and/or kokanee killers setups with white shoepeg corn on each hook . I went out to Lucky Peak 4 weeks ago for the first time with all my gear and boated 3 koks and lost a few. So far I've boated 10 koks in 3 trips. Im learning alot by trial and error and im looking forward to catching more kokanee. Ill be asking you all for advice Thanks everyone and happy fishing!!
