Giant Winter Kokanee on the Old Town AutoPilot 120 Kayak 

"...Stick to the rivers and streams your used too" 🤣 and don't forget the weird al version.

Tyler, Thank You for taking us along for the ride, I always look forward to your Kokanee vids. Time to order a Autopilot 120 for this season.

Awesome Tyler, thanks for the ride

Amped Outdoors products are the dope !!! Awesome service and fast shipping. Another solid video. Thank you !!!

Thanks for the great information you share in your videos. Getting ready for spring chinook here on the west side.

Hit Spring Canyon on MLK weekend. Did well on the kokanee and trout. Beautiful weather for this time of year! Hoping the trend continues. Love to see these fish hit the light action rods!! Thanks for the video

Thanks for taking us along with you!

So great to see you putting the hurt to those rods

Great fish and great video!

Sweet setups you have going for the rods

All fish “feel like a good 1”!👌🏽

Awesome stuff man 👏👏🙌🎣

so cool -- you have your own style and methods and it is even nicer when using an electric troller -- silent but deadly!

At least you got bit. I have had many early season kokanee trips were I get skunked.

Nice catch. Biggest koke I’ve seen

Man I wanted and almost did yell at you about a fish on the left when you were looking to your right. Ghank you for the videos.

This episode reminds me of my first trip trolling for them with too stiff of a rod. "OH MAN another one popped off" Good to see its just part of the game, and not that my game is that far off. LOL

Thanks!

Nice to see you back on kayak and chasing kokanee again! Missing these videos. Are you planning to fish in Lake Merwin in this season?

Hello, love the vids

Would you consider making a video of you AP setup? I hope to get one in next few months. Do you stand to fish or mostly troll? Informative video.

I was in that spot last year and got my first trophy Kokanee there.

Nice video Tyler! You ever think of putting a Mr. Buddy heater in front of you in the kayak? I use the little buddy in my 12 foot tinny and keeps the hands and shins nice and toasty.

Great video, spectacular Kokanee. I am heading to Fort Spokane for a few days of Kokanee and trout fishing. Do you think the Kokanee are that far up the lake. I will check out your corn recipe.

What a great video. I would of been so upset for you if you lost that monster at the boat! Appreciate your videos. Smash that like button people

Nice

I use Wedding Rings [nickle or bress depending on sunny or overcant day] with nite crawler or white corn no flasher, just one splitshot lead. Adjust your speed to the bite.

Basically, I'm watching you to pic your brain about this stuff (along with Cameron Black). Kokanees peak my interest because they are similar to the cohos we have here in Lake Superior. You had mentioned in one of your earlier videos that kokanees were planted in New York, Connecticut and N. Carolina. New York discontinued stocking a few year back, Connecticut still stocks them but they run small in that state. North Caroline only stocked them once in the 1960's (in Lake Nantahala), but they adapted to the natural conditions there and average 18 to 20 inches long. They spawn in the upstream reaches of the Nantahala river in the fall. So, these are the closest large kokanee to me. But, there is one place closer to me with naturally reproducing kokanee and that is Wisconsin's Florence Lake (about 3 to 4 hours from me here in Marquette). But it is a very small lake and the kokes don't get very big in it, and fishing access is hard because it's pretty much surround by private land.

Thanks for the great videos, are you using the standard Arrow Flash or the Arrow Flash Jr.

looks like you went with the level six emperor. How are you liking it. Did you find a good way to self-zip?

Tyler do you change tactics in the fall for Kokanee? The fish seem to be way less aggressive no matter what rigs we’re running. Learned and still learning a ton from your channel thanks for producing such quality content.

I had no idea there were kokanee in AZ! With how you’ve fitted your kayak, it makes me wonder why you didn’t just get a small fishing boat? Would be drier and more comfortable, I think... But it is a sweet setup!

That Kokanee was amazing. Great Rainbow too. You not allowed to keep Rainbow there?

Awesome video! Just picked up my sportsman salty PDL 120 per your recommendation! Took it out Sunday and it was an absolute blast! I think you said you got your start with Kokanee on lake merwin, that's my home lake, and I've done pretty well so far. Mainly fishing in my buddy's boat. I've only ever launched out of speelyai (spelling?) But that was with a powerboat. Now that I have the kayak, is there anywhere else that you would suggest I start from? I don't even know if I'm allowed to, but I know there's a swimming hole down by the dam on the west side. I'm just super excited to go exploring with the new yak!!! You are a rockstar, thanks for the inspiration to get after Kokanee!

Hello great video was wondering if you could tell me besides it being a ram mount clamp I can't find on the website to park that screws into the back of the remote for the Minn kota can you send me a link to that part please I already have a track mount I just need the top piece that screws into the back of the mount and I can't seem to find it Thank you

Can't help myself. I get a big smile when you are looking the other way and we are watching the big bite. While you take a while to notice. That is what happened with your first caught giant. After watching your reel in slow vs real fast test that you don't always reel in quicker now. Interesting.

I was there when you where if we went Down farther we could have saw you

Have you ever tried to fish CDA lake for kokanee? If so, any specific advice for that lake?

I also change hook to a red trebble hook . Remember they have SOFT mouths so set hook lightly

Right on! I'll be heading that way for my Bday next weekend if the boat launches aren't a sheet of ice. I do a lot of land locked silver fishing, and I've found those rubber snubbers are life savers for keeping them hooked. Have you tried those?

I tend to stay in the West side of the state and I’m VERY new to Kokanee fishing. What lakes would you consider to be a premium Kokanee lakes on this side of the hills?

Looks like it was an enjoyable day on the water. I live in SW Montana but fish Idaho and Washington although I've never been on Roosevelt reservoir. It's on my radar tho for this Spring. I'll be fishing Lake Coeur D'Alene the end of March for the Spring Salmon derby but after that weekend, I'm planning on heading to Roosevelt. I have a brother in Vancouver who may be joining me hopefully. In your vid you offered to answer questions regarding fishing Roosevelt. I've got plenty of questions since I have never fished it. But mainly, where would be a good bet in the Spring to fish specifically for the Kokanee. (with a good boat launch) I troll with my 18' Hewescraft and have downriggers and planer boards. You mention in your vid that you are close to a dam. Would that be Grand Coulee? I see there is a National Recreation site near the dam on Google Maps. My next question is where would a good place to camp be that has close access to a boat launch? I have a pickup camper and will be pulling my boat. Fully self contained but it would be nice to have full hookup. I appreciate any constructive help/suggestions. Thank you

I’m trying to get into Kokanee but it seems so complicated. You seem to be making it far more simple. I notice you’re not using downriggers or lead core, just a 100 yards of mono and a dodger? No weight or anything needed? How do you measure depth? Thanks for the great videos!

I'd like to know about your camera setup. What camera? What Ram mount? External microphone? Wind screen? Power source? Thanks, love your videos!

Headed up Jan 30th, planning Keller area, any tips? First time Kokanee fishing Roosevelt with my uncle

What launch did you launch from I would love to see that waterfall 😊

What is the mount you are using for the motor remote? That is a nice setup. Thanks.

It is good to see you miss on the netting - it makes me feel a bit less incompetent. Really nice fish!

Just curious why you dont ever keep the rainbows? They smoke up pretty good! Do you just not like to eat em? Thanks for the videos, awesome stuff as always

Do you trailer the Autopilot kayak?

Just wanna give my 2 cents I'm not a pro on fishing for kokanne I've only been fishing for them for 5 years but I've have great success. But who hasn't have had kokanne come off while bringing them in. But I just wanna ask why don't you use a snubber behind your dogger? I have loss less Kokanee with a snubber.

looks like different reels then you have in alot of your other videos, are they newer, what make, size? Dedicated for sure to stay out that long.

What size rods are you using? I'm trying to find another good size rod to use not using downriggers.

How many kayaks do you own and your reason for that? I would think all you need is one Kayak for every type of species.

So are you just Fly Lining those rigs with no weight?

That battery costs more than my entire fishing setup.

I’m just looking into Kokanee fishing and I’m noticing that you and others don’t set the hook. Is this due to their “soft lips”?

Lincoln launch?

Is it too late in the season (mid may) to go after kokes on Roosevelt?

What exactly is a Kokanee

We’re you wearing a float suit?
