Lake Merwin & Kokanee

Post by Kokonuts » Mon Apr 28, 2008 12:09 pm

I ws trolling for the Kokanee on Sat. and drew another blank. Tried a couple of different wedding rings
and even a small Dick Nite spoon.
The water temp was 47, thats up from 44 a couple of weeks ago. I,ll try again next weekend & hope we get some warmer weather soon.
Anybody have any tips for KOKANEE Fishing?
Where ever I go........There I am!

My advice would be to PM Kokanee Kid or "KK" -- he is the resident expert on these fish.

This time of year I would try small spoons with Kokanee scent probably no deeper than 20-30 feet unless its really bright out.
As the season moves on try trolls with bait, or still fish and go deeper. White shoepeg corn, worms, maggots...

Anything shiny. I prefer Kastmasters and Dick Nite Spoons. Depending on weather conditions,you should troll at a depth between 20-35 feet. I'm only familiar with tigers in Merwin,not the kokes. Some lakes differ but overall my expierience with kokanee is in large lakes such as Riffe,Cushman and Kachess...this works in these lakes. Merwin is about the same size and has some similar features. It SHOULD work but don't quote me.:-$

I was talking to some guys at American lake(pierce county) and they were catching kokanee using a wedding ring tipped with a maggot.

Thanks.. :joker: shortly after I posted I asked the wife..her reply was the thing she DOESN'T have on her finger (long story), so I ended looking them up...seen them, never used one though.
