kokanee tip from guide

[Kodiak1]

I am pretty positive that it is all about the corn. Yesterday we fished for kokanee at Lucky Peak, and tried regular corn on one rig and pink Pautzke Nectar on the other. The nectar and straight corn were both working well, and caught approx. the same number of fish. The only thing we knew for sure was that the Kokanee Killer we were using (with corn) had only caught one fish all morning. When we replaced it with a wedding ring similar to the other poles, it immediately got active. If you can't use corn, then I think I would use lures such as the Triple Teaser. Laws excluding corn can be easily justified in regards to trout, but you never see corn in the stomachs of kokanee. After all, they eat zooplankton almost exclusively. Using corn as a bait for kokes seems to be perfectly harmless to them. Mike
