a lot of Kokanee spawn along the shorelines of certain lakes, Paulina is probably one of the best, one time we found a massive school of spawning kokes staged right on the spine of the red slide in about 50-60 ft of water on the 1st weekend of october. The way the red slide runs into Paulina your either right on top of the ridge as it decends into the lake or your off it and the water depth drops off immediately into several hundred feet of water. We literally caught hundreds between 3 of us, doubles and triples continuosly for about 3 or 4 hours! It was insane! If you weren't right on the ridge....no fish! Had to be right on that structure! We went back 2 weeks later, it was mid-october by then and they had moved right up against the shoreline in the red slide area, thousands of them! They were very fond of pink or red spinners cast towards the shoreline.
Lake of the woods and Fourmile are 2 lakes the the kokes look for gravel beds along the shoreline and will school up by the thousands, I'm sure there are a lot more!
All Kokanee in Paulina and East are stocked as fingerlings, so fishing for the spawners does not interfer with fish production.
