How about a session on set ups for kokanee.....your salmon set up vids rock! Not everyone has access to dual electronic downriggers....what else you got? Action induced baits like hoochies would also be good. Cover things like leader length tween the Dodger and the hooch.....how much action does an addict want? Are there insights between chinook/coho and kokanee fishing? Gear is similar, just down sized. As always, advice on bait/secret sauce is always welcome! Any challenge thrown in all of this fun just makes it more interesting. Wallowa Lake is coming back.....come catch a new world record! I'll cheer you on up here!

In my mind you had to many variables in the dodger vs gang troll. You had an overcast day that was constant, good. The dodger was darker than the nickel gang troll, it should of outfished the gang that day. But to me the big difference was the dodger had UV reflector tape, where the gang troll did not. Would be interesting to put a little UV tape on the gang troll and refish. The gang troll needs a snubber also, otherwise a koke just pounds against it and tears off! Just my thoughts, always open to your thoughts. With koks we are always learning !!!

yeah, the ford fender/gang troll needs a rubber snubber to keep the hook from pulling out. You should have one on the kokanee dodger also but the lake troll pulls harder when reeling it in. pretty even hook up rate. i like ford fenders but am open to the dodger now that i see how they produce and much less pull when reeling in your fish.

No need for heavy rods. A long soft rod is fine too. Just play the fish VERY softly. Don't pull him. Just keep enough pressure to keep the hook in, without ripping it from his mouth.

A wedding ring spinner is a common trolling (or with added weight, casting) 1-2 hook lure often used for trout and kokanee. Two ~inch long sections of linked colored beads and 1-2 terminal hooks follow a small rotating blade for flash. Between the beads is a small metallic ring with embedded sparkly sequins that resembles a wedding ring to humans and perhaps baitfish scales to a fish? Dunno, maybe the prototype used a real wedding ring? Made by Mack's.

This video got by attention. I have several various dodgers because they look cool and they are the hip cool lure to use and I can't resist using them. (Gang trolls are old school) That being said my wife and I consistently catch more fish with gang trolls...by a long shot. I don't use the big hard pulling gang trolls of my childhood. The mini trolls work just as well and don't twist up your line. Back in the day they made the gang trolls huge and gave them sensational names to lure the fisherman.

So... How about catching kokanee through the ice? We recently had the neighborhood lake planted with kokanee for the first time and no one knew they had done that. In the middle of winter, we were pulling up small (but delicious) kokanee on our trout set ups. I caught one of the first ones and even ones coming over to confirm what I had caught. I am guessing that maybe thirty to forty were caught before the I've broke up (abut two months).
