Kokanee Fishing with Dummy Flasher Jigging JawJackers

[Brandonkop]

I know some of you guys have fished for Kokanee in the summer... but have you ever fished for kokanee through the ice?

This was my first ever successful ice fishing adventure for Kokanee Salmon fishing at Monte Lake. The lake is frozen quite well now and there are fish out there suspended below the ice waiting to find your lure. On my rod I used a Gibbs Gator Spoon flasher, 14 inches of four pound fluorocarbon leader tied to a Backcountry tackle 5 mm Pink Quick Flicker Tungsten Jig. I tipped the jig with half a meal worm. While many other people on the ice were not having much luck, I was able to pull my limit quickly using this method. A must have for better success in a Flasher Sonar like my Marcum or any other type of fish finder device. This will help you see where the fish are in the water column. You can use this advantage to present your lure in the right location. It also helps you get ready for a bite when you see the fish swimming towards your lure.

Drove by that lake many times on my way to Vernon always wondered how it fished in the winter season.

Very cool video.

Yeah in the winter when it's frozen you'll see 20 to 40 ice tents out there. It's a hot little spot right off the hiway!
