Kokes seem to be hard to find through the ice at strawberry. I guess it's because there is a lot of area for the schools to roam in. I have had my best luck on the soldier creek side north and a little east of the marina. I have also caught a few south and east of the old dam as mentioned earlier and north of mudcreek.
Kokes like a lot of flashing, use silver spoons as attractors, with a pink or orange ratfinkee dropper tipped with a wax worm. I'm not to sure that the wax worm does a lot of good but it seems to help a little when only a few swim through. If you have a large school under you, forget rebaiting with the wax worm and just get the jig back in the water.
A typical hit by on a ratfinkee is fairly aggresive however it only lasts about a second or two. After you jig, the hit will be about 2 seconds later, then they spit it out. sometimes however they hook themselves.
Some times you have to wait two or three hours for the school to come through and then it's hot for 3, 4 or 5 minutes then it's dead again for a while.
Causey, Porcupine, Moon Lake and Flaming Gorge in that order have been better for me for kokanee than strawberry.
