- I tie a Vedder Fly and ramble on about Kokanee Fishing and give a brief Update.
Am I wrong about adding scent to a lure and not just bait? If you have a different experience please chime in and share your story. I am always learning
If you want to see more videos like this then let me know.
Thanks for watching

I would like to see more of them.
I have found a purple with some glow strands have worked great this year. Thanks for the video.
I use vintage Daiwa fiberglass rods with a fly reel. I add 60 ft of mono ahead of 15ft of braid then the backing. I adjust depth by changing out weights (0 to 4 oz). I fish out of an 8 ft pontoon boat (oar powered) and I do well. I also tie my own tube flies. Don’t need to overthink it. Kokanee strike out of curiosity or defense just get their attention.
Invest in a line counter reel. You can get a great eagle claw rod for $30. True you can get by with just a couple go to lure and dodger rigs, but every lake is different. I’ve fished one lake that cop car was the go to, another that liked pink and orange and another lake that loves wonder bread. We have a small lure company and if anyone asks, I recommend line 4 combos that I use almost exclusively even though we have lots of options.

Very flexible rod tip is imperative!
I always place one smelly pink maggot on my hook! Works like a charm
Love you content Kokanee fishing is my favorite to
Thanks 👍
Been using your pattern for 2 years...thanks
Right on. So awesome to here Jim
Love your fly tying. Gonna do some myself. You are right. Any boat will fish Kokanee. Very nice hats
Thanks Ray.
Thanks for the great video
Love it keep it up. If you ever want to fish, flaming, gorge, or strawberry, my boat is all yours.
Wow thanks for the offer. I definitely want to fish those lakes. Thanks again
and because both the 15# line and the bead blocks theends of the lure, you can add a thickened bait scent inside to act as a residual attractant
I don't like eating rainbow trout and I really doubt triploides would be any different from regular rainbows. Shoot, I don't even like to eat ocean run steelhead. And, there's a big difference between Lake Superior Coho and the other great lakes coho (Michigan and Huron in my case). Lake Superior is a cold clean oligotrophic lake with few nutrients, but lots of coho feed. Lake Michigan and Huron are warmer and eutrophic lakes. Lake Erie is very eutrophic, but it produces great perch and walleye. Back in 88 when I lived out here I caught many coho out of the Nooksack river here. I have to be back in Marquette, MI by mid April so there probably not be any fishing for me out here.
Great content…I am new to the northwest and your channel has provided so much guidance on how to fish this amazing area. Thank You So Much
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much
Look forward to your videos, excellant as always…love to fish big steelhead and salmon but really love kokanee fishing!
I bet a friend of mine he couldn't cast for kokanee when the water was down for dam maintenance and couldn't launch our boat...he promptly tied on a size 4 red rooster tail, walked to the lake's edge, and banked 2 14" silver bullets in 30 mins. Never seen that before or since.
That’s awesome
Great video as always. Thank you for sharing this information with us
Thank you for watching
Agree with you 100 percent kokanee fishing is so addictive, I live on one of the best kokanee lakes in Washington state and it is definitely a scenic beautiful place! I’ve spent thousands on Kokanee gear and it is the most simple rigs that work good and I do the same as you I have two rods that stay rigged up with the same setup and all the rest of my tackle sits in the boat storage haha 😆
once you get the corn/scent and tackle figured out it’s pretty much down to depth and speed after that!
I am not the best at winter kokanee fishing so I’m looking forward to watching your videos and learning more! Excited for more kokanee content and fly tying etc.
And I need to get one of those hats ASAP! Those are dope! 🤘
Merry Christmas! Fish on
You said it way better than I did. Thanks so much for watching and the support. I’m not dialed either in winter. I Will definitely show the good bad and Ugly.
@@NorthwestCatch awesome looking forward to the videos! What time of year do you usually start fishing them in the cold water?

@@mtnsavagenorthwest7409hopefully very soon if I can get over the pass to Eastern Washington.
Sweet video! Hopefully I’ll see ya on Roosevelt in a couple months. I’ll show you this simple Kokanee fly my dad created. Very simple but very affective. Love the channel keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Brandon. Love seeing how the old timers did it because it worked and that key word Simple! I get away from simple sometimes and always find myself coming back.
Never caught a kokanee, but was raised fishing walleye on Lake Erie and Lake Pymatuning in Ohio. I was first introduced to koke fishing as a concept by Cameron Black of Addicted Fishing and then started to watch Tyler Hicks's channel and his kayak fishing koke method. I've lived in Michigan's Upper Peninsula for the past 44 years and have caught a lot of Lake Superior Coho salmon which I consider better eating than any other salmonid in the Great Lakes. Now I live in Bellingham, but need to get back to the U.P. this spring to get my boat out of storage and bring it across to start fishing. Lake Roosevelt will probably be my primery target because it has both walleye and kokanee.
You will kick but on Roosevelt for walleye. Definitely a learning curve catching kokanee. You will figure it out, just takes longer than the walleye will. When you get all set up and ready to fish let me know and I will point you in the right direction for walleye. Tons and tons of walleye in Roosevelt in very specific parts. Something you might not know is 2 other premier walleye fisheries only minutes away from lower lake Roosevelt. You can find my email in the about section. Thanks for the comment Jon
@@NorthwestCatch Well, I saw you catching them on Banks lake with your wife and little girl.
If you like the taste of great lakes coho , you are gonna love the taste of Roosevelt Triploid rainbow trout , plus they get as big as the great lakes coho , the coho fishing over there around bellingham can be very good also
Between Roosevelt and Rufus woods ( The columbia river below grand coulee dam , that creates Lake Roosevelt ) You will have all the walleye you can eat and big Triploids too
It's a great fishery ...
World Class !
Love the hats!
Man! Waiting on those Vedder Fly on your website checking everyday I need more of those lol
And yes they are perfect this time of the year on Merwin lake👌🏻👍🏻🙂
I'm very new to Kokanee and boat fishing. I will be on Roosevelt, for the very first time, this Thursday - Sunday! I absolutely have future plans to fish with at least a couple guides, as soon as I'm able! Love your approach! I spent years Tying flies, for fly fishing trout and steelhead. Your Flys are incredible!
Thanks so much for the kind Words Michael. Anything I can do to help you catch fish just let me know. First couple times on Roosevelt might be tricky but stick with it. We all learned at some point to run a boat and back a trailer down. Have Fun and thanks for watching
Hey Derek. New Koke fisherman here and new subs to your channel. As you said, one of the fun things about Koke fishing is making your own lures. I am have a blast making them. Thanks for all the info. I’m looking forward watching more of your Kokanee fishing videos. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks so much. You are hooked now.
@@NorthwestCatch Just a little bit. 🥲😅😂. ‘Bout to finish making the sixth video of “Confessions of Addicted Kokanee Fisherman!” 😅😂🥲. Have a great weekend. 👍
@@JUNationFishing you to. Tight lines out there.
I watched but dont do instagram. Love tying kokanee gear and its the only species i really am addicted to. Its my therapy, been restoring a lake boat strictly for kokanee for a few years now so been off the water but 2023 is hopefully going to get some blood on the deck. Love your kokanee videos
Thanks Ryan.
Still waiting @ryanclark1841
@@scotth.5720 lmao
Great channel and content! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Zack. I’m asking a break right now but I’m back on the water soon. Thanks for watching
Love the Kokanee content! Fishing for salmon is great (especially with Shawn... he is "the man" (pics on channel)) but I love fishing for Kokanee. Don't really get over to WA lakes much though Roosevelt and Chelan are tops on the list for Kokanee for sure. Have migrated back to simple small presentation spinners over the last couple years but occasionally troll the small shrimp as well. I tend to think it does vary between fisheries a bit and also year to year. Kinda 50/50 on the scent or maybe just haven't found the perfect combo yet.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. When you do head to chelan or Rosy let me know and I will give you any reports and hot locations I have. Thanks for watching
Good video bud let’s go Rosevelt
Thanks Scott
Nice video Derick
Great video. I love tying the Hoochie's.
Where do you get the Micro hoochies?
Thanks Matt. I saw you found them. Have fun building and tight lines.
Tom Nelson said, "Any hoochie is better if you rip off about half of the legs."
Ie create space between them.
Your bead does the same thing.
I saw the same thing. Simple is good. Less is more
Go to boardman or irrigon if you want to catch walleye.
I have heard so much about those 2 areas. I need the pull the trigger and head that way. Thank you
Why do you use mono rather than braid? Is this to utilize the snubbing effect of a stretchable line?
Exactly Dave. Braid would probably be ok for me or someone else who has experience but I fish with many new Kokanee anglers and their landing ratio with Mono is much better.
Hi I liked the video. If you could have only 3 colors of aeroflash dodger what would they be?
have you considered selling flies and lures?
FishKokanee.com thanks for watching Nick.
What website can you order the hoochie bodies
FishKokanee.cm
Do you have Paypal it take 10 of those.
I watched
Love the fly tying vids! I enjoy tying tube flies as well. Where do you get the micro tubes that are pink? I’ve only ever found clear tubes.
