Ultimate Spring Kokanee Fishing Guide (Fish On)

[@zackfleming701]

Good stuff man! Always enjoy your uploads.

[@davidbrazell3866]

What hooks are using? Gamakatsu wide gap finesse hooks have made a huge difference for us, seldom lose a fish with them.

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

Size 4 big River bait hooks in this video! They were not the play. Drop shot hooks have worked well also. I will try the wide gap finesse as well

[@bofa83]

so where do you put your weight when using that chart?

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

I run a 50ft set back than clip the weight on

[@johnraymer4433]

Thanks for the info. I'll be holding a veterans fishing event on April 27th on that lake

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

What does it entail? [e-mail] Shoot me an email im a vet and would like to be apart of it!

[@motionsickness4088]

I do use clip on weights but not sure if I’m really a fan. I see for myself and others as well I seem to loose more fish when trying to take the clips off.

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

Yeah they are kinda funky. My clips clamp down and are not easy to release so I’m just gunna run the downriggers like I should have but hey it’s a constant learning experience for everyone!

[@BabyBitchBlue]

I have 10 acres at Bridge Lake in the north Cariboo region of British Columbia I use 6 weight flyrods with big 10/11 salmon flyreels with leadcore line.....I outfish most downr riggers and long liners....nice limber 9 ft rods with backbone....the big reels are for faster pickup and are full of backing for same reason. Been getting some over 5lbs occasionally....Bridge lake is known....and moody

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

@@BabyBitchBlue bridge lake in Canada?

[@BabyBitchBlue]

@@walkingonwaterfishing Yes Canada we live in Vancouver.....Bridge lake is 4.5 to 6.5 hours northdrive depending on traffic and children

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

@@BabyBitchBlue that’s awesome I bet it’s quite an experience catching a big Kokanee on a fly rod!

[@craigporter5364]

Great video buddy I laugh and laugh you remind me so much of your dad and uncles pup

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

Hahah thanks Craig! The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

[@truthteller9000]

That boat is lookin official bro! LFG your video quality and editing are getting insanely good so fast too absolutely killing it

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

Thank you so much brother!!!

[@kyleoden3015]

Swap out octopus hooks for dropshot hooks and you will land more eagle claw has a hook similar shape that's cheap and works great

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

Thanks for the tip I will 100% do that!

[@bmac9565]

100 percent drop shot hooks size 2 is what works. Will loose way less fish.

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

I will switch to them!!

[@manfordjennings3905]

gbt for the win

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

Lets goo GBT FOR the WIN!

[@jeffzorza1830]

Nice fish at the end. Are you gonna be at Drano with the kayak again? Hopefully I’ll see you there, I only live 20 minutes away so I’ll be hitting it hard.

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

I wont be in the kayak this year i got a little 14 ft boat you wont miss me though i got it wraped with my youtube logo :D Lucky I miss living close to the columbia! Im hitting it hard this next week for 5 days!

[@cog1154]

Haven't fished Hayden before, you on the upper end near Sportmans Park or down on the south end?

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

The sportsman side is good but you need to boat out the farthest left point. I was mainly on the honeysuckle side

[@chriszuccato5164]

42 degree surface temp you're running too deep. You should be in the top 10-15'.

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

the thing is when the water is cold the fish are anywhere from the surface like you are saying down to 70 ft deep! It was just a super slow day!

[@chriszuccato5164]

The fish will be where the zooplankton is which feeds on phytoplankton which blooms in sunlight and warmer water. In cold water temperatures I mark deep fish regularly, but they don’t play. The actively feeding fish are at the surface. As I watched the video I noticed you were catching on the shallower rod and especially on outside turns when it pulls shallower still.

[@chriszuccato5164]

The exception to this is with lakes like Chelan where they feed on Mysis shrimp instead of plankton because Mysis shrimp live on the bottom and suspend to feed.

[@walkingonwaterfishing]

@@chriszuccato5164 Yeah that makes sense ive studied the Zooplankton in our lake. alot of people even when cold chase the deeper markable fish and do very well. I like to do both chase the surface fish as well as the deep fish! Ive had alot of fish play in cold water deep on our lake up here

[@jaysoncain3726]

Garlic tuna!

[@kayinrolland]

Get a bow mount trolling motor

[@macsmith2092]

It's gonna be shrimp in the spring. That's where my money would be.

[@walkingonwaterfishing]
