Hey all,
I have been trying out my hand at catching kokanee lately with not much luck. Is there a particular piece of tack they prefer? What sort of technique should i be trying out when fishing for them?

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Was out this summer for them in a lake South of Vanderhoof.
Couldn't keep them off our lines. We trolled a willow leaf and then about 12 to 15 inches behind a red/orange(front) and silver Triple Teaser.
Within 1/2 hour we had our limit both days.
I can't find Triple Teasers here on the Lowermainland but up North no problem.
Here's the manufacture's web site.

TroutWilde,

which lakes in the lower mainland have you been trying? I know the guys were doing awesome trolling lures in Kawkawa lake earlier this year when we were there. Alot better then we were doing on the fly

kakawa lake. 30-40 feet of water. 3-6 turns up off the bottom with a #4 red gammie and a whole died krill. ONLY WAY TO GO!!! the thing is tho it is a very moddy lake u can fish 4 2 hours and not gt a sniff and in a half hour limit out like that. i have fished it when the bite was on and was gettin bites when my bait was goin down! march till august is key.

nicola lake- ford fender or willow leaf attractor, with a bungie so it doesnt tear their lips, then a dark green wedding band. always getting one on the line before i was finished letting it out! but that was during the summer months..

in the upper Arrows i used ford fenders or willow leafs with a wedding ring and some worms or maggots and yea there hard to keep off the hooks at times

Triple teasers are carried by quite a few of the shops in the lower mainland,just ask your fav shop to order in
from thier supplier.

They are also plentiful on Alouette lake (Golden Ears Proovincial Park). I've caught them on worm-tipped weddings bands behind a willow leaf, both on the surface as well as down below using a Deep Six planer. I've also caught them on the planer using an Apex "Trout Killer".

I fish kokes a lot and the best technique I have found is to fish the smallest dodger and wedding rings tips with white shoepeg corn or maggot. I troll this setup off a rigger with the ball from 12’-35’, as slow as you can go!!!! The key is speed and depth control, and when you find them just troll around in tight circles.

Try to tip your lures with worms, krill, corn or maggots. Every lake is different so mix it up until you find what works. For lures I would recommend a small fly behind a gang troll or a wedding band

A+N downtown has them for sure, other A+N should have them as well.

My favs a Small 6" Luhr Jenson chrome dodger trailing a pink Apex trout killer 20" behind. Gaudy pink or red fly patterns also work well trailed behind a dodger. Use a bit shorter leader for the flies as they don't have their own action like the spoons. Troll fairly slow as you don't want the dodger to start rotating like a flasher. Sometimes I also use a small rubber snubber as a shock absorber if the hooks aren't holding.
