Late Season Kokanee Edibility: Tips and Tricks for Preserving and Preparing Spawning Kokanee 

It's amazing how great the color and texture still is!

Last weekend for me here in Whatcom Co. They’re changing quick. Had great success this year can’t wait until next. Have to say watching your videos made it possible. Looking forward to your ice fishing videos!

Dude this video was fantastic! Thank you for the information.

Getting ready to shut er down here too , time to feast

Great video man you are the best ❤

I've eaten them pretty well gone into spawning change. Yeah, not as good a spring fish, but still better than most trout! Had a nice treat at Elk camp years ago, small lake nearby was full of aggressive almost-spawn kokanee....that had nowhere to spawn. Was able to catch a bunch casting crippled herring from the bank, which was kinda odd. But made for a DAMN nice camp lunch!

December 1 we can fish for them again here in Utah so hopefully I get another week or two in before we freeze up

Curious about your thoughts on winter Kokanee fishing (not ice fishing). It seems besides Merwin everyone assumes u can't catch next years Kokanee trolling until the following spring. Do you find this true or a misconception? Thanks as always.

Do you manually double seal your vacuum bags? Awesome idea, I never thought about doing that

What about kokanee roe? Have you ever harvested a hen and used the roe?

Where do you get the planks?

I have a dumb question Tyler. Why is the male a buck but a female a hen? Why not buck and doe? Or cock and hen? Bull and cow? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Was looking for taste test on salmon post spawning, but unfortunately the video doesn’t show or compare taste on pre- and post😒

You are a Kokanee fishing thesaurus

Smoking tip: Garbage in. Garbage out

My fillets from 3 big red males in late August were perfectly fine......
