I have caught my share of Kokenee long lining but bot couple downrigger for when Kokes go deep in GP. Need advice and tips how to rig them up for next summer. Any and all advice will be appreciated. Thanks,,,,Jerr
John B said:When my fishin crew and I troll GP, we generally use down riggers and go to a depth of
between 35 and 65 ft. Time of the year and water temps dictate this. We use sling blades
for flashers and the small 000 flashers. This in turn uses a short leader 16 to 18 inches in length
attached to a mini hoochie. Try different colors, blue,sometimes pink or whatever. rigg your hoochie
just as if you were salmon fishing in the ocean, complete with double hooks. Tip your hooks with white
shoepegg corn thats been cured in tuna oil. When all else fails or you want a change of pace thats a real kick in the pants, go down to the dam and try jigging. Both of these techniques produce large catch rates at GP. By the way, happy holidays everyone.
