I keep a variety with me when not downrigging to get down to where I want it to be.

8/11/2011 10:28:00 AMTrolling weights are banana weight with bead chains attached but at 1.2 mph 2oz banana weight will put you down about 11 or 12 feet 5oz will put you down 25 to 30 feet I know this by changing weight out on back rod while using downriggers until the middle rod goes down trying to find the same depth as the downriggers because downriggers catch usually the first fish and most also tell buddy with no riggers stop being cheap and invest

This year - 14-15 inches
Depends on how you measure. Head to fork of tail or head to end of tail.

8/12/2011 5:52:00 PMI've caught a 14" fish this year but nothing very large at all. Most have been in the 11"-13" range. 2008 was my best year with several 16" fish and one I took out the measuring tape for. It measured 18 1/2", I believe my best Kokanee to date. It seems the average gets lower and lower each year. I'd like to see a reduction in the limit, to be honest with you-possibly even a slot limit. Good luck and thanks for the report.
