Lake Pend Oreille Kokanee and Kamloops

[@HabeasJ]

Happy to see you filming on my home lake and would love to see you come back for another episode in the spring or fall when the kams really start biting.

[@AnglerWestTV]

I have fished 100's of hours in the Kamloops area in Canada BC and I find this so interesting, I had no idea we sent the rainbow species down south so long ago. Kamloops Rainbow around here (Kamloops), a trophy would be 10-15lb. Typically fishing for big rainbow in the area is done by fly fishing in much, much smaller lakes, at like 5-60ft depth, that's where I caught my personal biggest at 8-10lb. Running down riggers like you guys are, would be what we would use to target kokanee, lake trout, and other species other than rainbow. Lake trout is the only thing we see in the Kamloops BC area that could maybe reach 20-30lb if you're not counting the salmon run. Super cool you guys have our native trout species and they are thriving like that.

Bitter End Marina!!!! I grew up there. The naval research barge out there is to test submarines. The lakes like 1200 ft deep it's insane. Granddad used to catch Cokes out by the old concrete plant in the 70s

[@jasonhurdlow6607]

That's a really long leader for those Koke's. We run half that length at Dworshak.

[@AnglerWestTV]

Any caught a big Kamloops at Pend Orielle?

[@Snorri548]

Hey, what Kind of rods and reels are you using?

[@jasonhurdlow6607]

Two Dodgers back-to-back?! 🤯

[@PeterLove-x1n]

Yep , I caught a 18 lb 33 inches long

[@scotsman771]

Great video showing a different way to catch Kam's, And you spelled Pend Oreille wrong...

[@AnglerWestTV]

Thanks for the heads up. Lots of difficult names to spell in that part of the country. I actually copied and pasted off the web so I guess I'm not the first one to misspell it. Thanks for watching!

I guess that’s the ticket is to smoke small Kokes. For me I like the taste of Kokanee and we eat 12-20” fish and don’t waste time smoking them. We use smoking for lesser tasting fish such as trout or lake salmon
