kokanee tip from guide

[wiperhunter2]

Yesterday I ate some of the kokes I caught at Anderson Ranch and boy were they good, the fresher the better. I always use a dodger instead of the smaller pop gear for kokes and for me, the dodger has worked better but it does depend on the dodger. My favorite is a hammered silver but the pink sling blades that Shasta & RMT make, work good also. I have often wondered if I put that prism tape on a flat dodger if I would get as much flash as I do from the hammered silver, I'm planning on trying it on my next kokanee outing. I've caught many a koke on a plain red hook, mainly because we can't use corn here but where it is legal the corn really helps. Looking back on my fishing log from last year I see that in the month of Aug, the kokes I have caught at one of the local lakes have started to turn red, when do they start changing up there?
