Koke on fly rod???? - Flyfishinglover - 07-27-2014
Just curious if it's possible to catch a koke from strawberry with a type 2 sinking line right now as well where should I head out and what to use?
I sure would like some fresh pan fry koke again after the first of many koke I caught from causey during ice season and pan fried those small suckers were just tasty.

Maybe you can teach me how to catch a koke on a fly rod unless if you don't know how to as well [

its not that difficult when they stack before a spawn if you know where to go

Kokanee are plankton feeders. During the spawn they have only one thing on their mind. And that's not food. You might be able to aggravate them to attack your fly but it's hard. When they're not spawning it's possible if you can keep your fly around 35' deep and move it about 2+ mph. We've tried it years ago and so have a lot others. Fly fishing for kokes at Strawberry is tough. You keep trying.

I caught one years ago at Strawberry fly fishing Jakes Bay. It was l in the fall and it took a big grey zonker of all things in about 15-20 feet of water. It was silver and was not showing any signs of spawning. Only koke I have ever caught fly fishing.

If it were me, I would go with a type 5 or 6 and let the line go all the way down and directly below me. Now you can vertical jig. Try something like a Pistol Pete or a small leach with a spinner blade above it.
Use your fish finder to locate the depth of the fish and go to work.

Or a Type VII, but that could work. Mohair leech with dabs of t shirt paint in the tips of the fibers. Color not really important at that depth but Purple is my choice.
