Earlier this fall we got the kokanees in the Green River to hit Bright red and yellow wooley buggers tied with flash in the tail. To do this we had to sight fish for them, add weights to the line, and get the buggers right in front of their face. If you could hold the wooley buggers within a few inches of their nose for 10 seconds or so (not an easy thing to do in the current) they would usually hit. The other trick is finding a "pod" of kokanees that are not in the stretch below the Fontanell dam which is closed to fishing for them. I know of at least one place where they congregate in "legal" water. Don't ask where because I am not even sure if I could find it again, let alone describe how to get there. We waded about a mile upstream from the road to get there. That was an eventful day. When I get the pictures developed I will post them and have a good story to go with them.
