Jigging

[Kodiak1]

I can remember as a kid the commercial kokanee fishermen on Lake Pend Oreille. They would take their boats and hook them end to end in a large circle. They would then spread a large amount of creamed corn in the middle and let the kernels slowly drift down. They would take red hooks (bare) and drop them with the corn. They would haul out tons of kokes. But, you need to remember that the kokanee were thick beyond anything today. Trolling has got to be far more effective. By the way, in a recovery for the books, kokanee fishing is back on In Pend Oreille for the upcoming season, thanks to an incredible effort to diminish the lake of its macs. That, with a change in the dam by the Corps of E. and the introduction of myosis shrimp dropped the kokanee population from millions to almost nothing. Thanks, Fish and Game. Next hopefully will be the return of the Gerrard rainbows. Mike
