Wood Lake Kokanee Fishing

[FishDoc]

Wood Lake British Columbia was the first lake that I ever fished for and caught a kokanee. These smaller sized land locked sockeye are a great fish to catch during the summer and make a tasty meal. When we started fishing for them we would use weights on our lake trolls to get the lure to depth. Now I have downriggers on the boat which makes controlled depth angling for these kokanee a whole lot easier. While with weighted line you're just guessing where your lure is based on how much line you let out, with a downrigger you know exactly where your lure is. Match up this with the depth of the kokanee schools and you are usually hooking up with fish in no time at all. I hope you enjoy the video. Let me know what else you would be interested in seeing or information you are interested. Maybe I can help out with more how to videos in the future.

Looks like you had a good day. You got some nice eating fish there.

I'd love to see some more Kalamalka lake kokanee videos.

Cool vid. You ever try running your lake troll directly off the ball? Nice fight without it in-line!

Yeah to tell you the truth I have some footage from a couple times out on Kalamalka this summer and it was just a dink fest. Nothing over about 10 inches. So I won't be putting that together in a video. Maybe next year. Waiting for the big ones to increase in number again and hopefully be more catchable.

I have never actually tried that but I am sure it would likely work and maybe next time I'll give that a try. Thanks fort he advice!

Here is my best underwater Kokanee Trolling video, it is pretty neat to see and some of these kokanee were really big likely close to 5 pounds at the biggest. Unfortunately they are the masters of getting off the hook. Check out this link.
