Great upload, I love documentaries that focus on the Portland/SW Washington area. One quick point though, around the 7:30 mark the guide says that they’re fishing in downtown Portland. If anything they’re right outside downtown Vancouver, WA on the north side of Hayden Island. Great info by all of these guides. Cheers!

Nice trick on trimming the tail. I might give that a whirl on the next slow day

Twice the length of the dodger is a good rule of thumb. The shorter the leader, them more action you're lure will have. Sometimes kokanee want more or less action--usually more later in the season. Good luck.

The sling blades are silver UV with a pattern on them. But, we are using lots of different colors to try to key in on them.
