  • The Kokanee Salmon is one of the most unique freshwater fish in the fishing world. The beautiful, vibrant red colors and hook jaws on the males makes them one of the most intriguing looking fish to target. These fish go through a 3 to 5 year journey before they spawn and die. They are super fun to catch on a fly rod. We'll show you how catch these beauties in the west.

    Beautiful Drone footage right off the bat AJ. I never knew Kokanee turned red during the spawn, for some reason I thought they were a hybrid and didn’t reproduce. Shows what I know about salmon. Love the classic AJ slow-mo release shots. Cool B- roll too.

    Hey AJ love your videos I’ve got a few questions how high up do you put the strike indicator? do you use any weights to get the eggs down?

    • @MountainStateAngler
      @MountainStateAngler  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks Chad. Sorry about including a few of those points bud. The strike indicator you have to make the judgement based on how deep you’re fishing. Meaning, if it’s 4ft deep have your indicator at 6ft up on the line so that way you can still have a good drift. The split shots is dependent on the speed of the current. I put 1 BB size fly fishing split shot or one BB and another one just below that size.

      Snagging is a low-end crap way to catch fish. From observations, that crowd leaves trash, snags browns & and doesn't take showers. Spinning or fly, Catch em like a fisherman with skill.
