Why do you prefer kokanee over other trout

[@SoundFishing2020]

Kokanee are landlocked Sockeye Salmon. In my opinion the Sockeye is the best tasting salmon. A trout is still a good tasting fish but the kokanee is better. Kokanee area little oiler and are more mild in flavor.

That was a great question thank you for asking.

What speed do you like to troll at ?

[@SoundFishing2020]

Great question as speed is extremely important. Kokanee like it slow between .8 and 1.8 mph. I usually start at 1.3 mph then adjust from there. Sometimes I'll leave it at 1.3 and make "S" turns. Trout like things trolled faster.

@@SoundFishing2020 thanks for the info! That’s my usual go to as well.

Another thing that works pretty good is to give a bump to the throttle and quickly increase the speed, then settle back to my usual speed. Sometimes that works better than "S" turns.
