Thank you, new to kok fishing. These are inspiring videos. I am 77 and it takes a lot to get me going. Went fishing the day after watching the videos. We caught one 22" kok. Not bad for an old man. I need trips to learn
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ru-vid.comUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
Good job making this video. Every kokanee angler should watch this video at least once, if not a few times. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
We went to Yale this weekend. I used your recommendation of using a topographical map to pick points out for fishing. There was a lot of pressure on the lake but we were one of the view boats putting Kokanee in our boat. Thank you!
Excellent content… i’ve been scouring all your Kokanee vids-because I’ll be hitting Buck’s lake for three or four days NorCal… Never fished the “Kokanee Fishery” before!!! So I’ll put your instruction to work… been Kayak Ocean only since 2009 kinda Jonesing for some high elevation action!!! Once again Great stuff!!!
Got my first ever Kokanee in my kayak today! A nice 14 incher. Your videos helped me tremendously. I’ll try and get more than 1 next outing. Tight lines
I’m amazed you guys catch koke like that. Our bite is like an hour in the morning and then thats it. Your lucky to get one or two kokes during the bite. We stock the small fry in two lakes here so limit is five. You’re lucky to catch one a day. They cycle thru, one lake now has 20” fish but you’re lucky to catch any all year and the other lake you catch twenty fish but they are 6”. We are lucky to have them, but it is very much hit or miss
The colours that the eye can see at depth are very obvious and are exactly as this video producer explains. Any scuba diver has experienced natural light loses the 'reds' fairly quickly as you descend. As a novice scuba diver this became very obvious when my dive-master lit up an underwater torch and all-of-a-sudden- boom! Lots of colour
Hey I have problems catching Kokanee, but I have a paddle kayak. I’m thinking it could be a speed factor. Wondering if you have caught Kokanee paddling instead of peddling before. Thanks for all the info, love seeing kayaks catching Kokanee .
Nice video. Very instructional. I love it. I wish I had a boat just like yours to do what you did. Are you left-handed? I am right-handed and am just learning I need left-handed reels so I can handle the pole with my dominant right hand and reel with my weaker left hand. Thus I need a left-hand crank reel.
Just went out to Green Peter Reservoir in Oregon on 5/3/2019, the Kokanee were being caught by Jigging at 350' or more near the dam. I would never have thought they went that deep, and I didn't have that much line on my basic rods. Was trolling middle of the reservoir and fingers in a Hobie Outback with no luck, do you suspect they could have been in the shallows as well on Green Peter Reservoir at this time even though they were being caught at 350' plus near the dam?
@@spiltmiltthanks for the reply, I am grateful for the information; I enjoy your content as well as all the insight you provide, I appreciate the effort you make to publish such content. Keep up the great work.
How does water temperature play into how you fish ? If the ice just came off the reservoir is there a certain water temperature it needs to be before you can catch them trolling ?
motor shy? you know how many jump inches from our boat could of sworn one about landed in our boat it was so close. we usually pull out 15-20 pulls of line out and troll 3-4 oz weight silver and white dodgers does the best
RAM Mounts. This video goes over the mounts and has links to the products on the bottom. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Xrq3n-VllY.html
Here is an idea. You have fished Kokanee in many lakes making your videos. How about going to each of those many videos and add (Paulina, Odell, or whatever) in the video title? We would all be very grateful and you wouldn't be giving away your secrets ..... if they were all disclosed. Thanks, I hope you are agreeable.
@@fedup7416 In Oregon we have some lakes with a 5 fish limit, and some with a 25 fish limit for kokanee. High limit lakes = smaller fish. But they all eat just fine.
Those are three pretty big and vague categories buddy. That’s fishing any fish 😂😂😂 that’s like saying “ Rocket Science is simple, it comes down to three principles, thrust, aerodynamics, and materials.” Just dumb man. But….. you did a good job explaining nuances and still had good information. Kudos for that.
