I don't Ice fish but they use the same setups I use for trolling, but I don't buy to much from them.  are any body. Just parts to make my own.

I like this
Kokanee is a fragile fish compared to rainbow trout.
They do not handle catch and release well
Thanks Robert it's a good read. I've been wanting to ice fish strawberry for kokanee. But the weather is making it very hard this year. I'm all geared up and ready. Only I don't have a snowmobile, bummer.
I've been watching YouTuber Don Allphin. He is a Flaming Gorge kokanee jigging fool, great fun watching him.
Enjoyed the read. Ice kokes have been a challenge for me but will keep trying - maybe- this rain and 40 temps are not doing anything for my confidence in ice conditions
Thanks for the article. Enjoyed the short read. Tried to catch some kokes last year at Strawberry. Used a small glow dodger with a jig below. Marked fish on the bottom in 60 fow and got excited. Dropped down and caught cuts. Still have never caught a Kokanee but will try again when Strawberry is thick enough to go out to deeper water. I don’t love fishing with the dodger because it mutes the “feel” of the fish a bit.
