For trolling for trout/kokanee I would reccomend getting you some downnriggers, not as neccessary in the early/late season when water temps are cool, but better when the heat of the summer is on and the fish move down in the water column aways.
Downriggers are very effective for controlled depth fishing without using heavy lines rods and tackle to get to where the fish are, then you can enjoy the fight of the fish once one is hooked.
Using Downriggers are just like anything in fishing, some days you can't keep the fish off and other days they want it different. But personally they have increased my catch rate dramatically on almost any water any time of the year.
As for tackle,i have stuff that works well for me and the next guy does just as well on different stuff.
here are a few brands of downriggers all of them have manual or electic options i believe....
