great fishery.. I do same thing just north of you in British Columbia up close to where alaska meets canada. I personally like black cod over halibut and then ling cod. halibut is my 3rd choice. for eating
Brad Wagner with Bobber Down guide service is the fishiest guy I've met. I went on a trip with him for fall Chinook, and we were limited on big fish when no one else was hooking anything. I highly recommend guided trips with Brad.
I use vintage Daiwa fiberglass rods with a fly reel. I add 60 ft of mono ahead of 15ft of braid then the backing. I adjust depth by changing out weights (0 to 4 oz). I fish out of an 8 ft pontoon boat (oar powered) and I do well. I also tie my own tube flies. Don’t need to overthink it. Kokanee strike out of curiosity or defense just get their attention.
@@NorthwestCatch have you taken the boat into the ocean? I’d like to fish inshore ocean for salmon and crab. I wouldn’t go way out. Close to shore only.
@@cirwin4099 yes multiple times out of lapush and Neah sometimes 30-40 miles out. This boat rides incredible in swells and 2 foot chop. No slapping at all coming down off a steep face. Average speed on the ocean on a decent day is 18-20mph. 12 mph when the wind waves pick up. What this boat doesn’t like is the 1 foot chop in the Puget sound. That gets annoying.
I've been running 10lb line end-to-end and don't have issues with tangling. I just turn the clicker on during line-out to keep it at a sane speed. I might try a thicker bumper thought to see if I like it.
Nice,,, Did you get a tribal fishing license since you were on the Res :).. all joking aside. This is a great video. I use to live right near there and work . Keep up the good videos
@@NorthwestCatch, awesome! Thanks for letting me know! I made a couple for myself from spare sheet metal, but it is a lot of work. Thanks for sharing your tips. 💪🏻
To get the clam of course. We are digging in a very unstable sandy mud. You have to dig an cone so the hole doesn’t cave in to much. Once you start digging you can’t stop or else the hole would not be a hole anymore.
Absolutely without a doubt loving them. After owning almost all the Kokanee rods on the market, I would put them against any Kokanee Rod on the market. The blanks are Stryker from Oregon. The best carbon grip on the market with grip both ways and built by Nick in this episode in Oregon. If you want his info send me a email. You can find it in the about section.
Where do you buy the materials to make the Kokanee lures like you have here? 6:40 Any particular brands and website you can recommend to buy the blades, wedding rings etc. Thanks!
