Well, I usually don't troll for the kokanee at Ririe but I always end up catching quite a few. I troll ninety percent of the time in the bay right in front of the campground just down from Blacktail. Usually you catch lots of cutts there but last fall the kokanee were stacked in there too. They seem to be a slightly larger version than the ones you catch down by the dam while ice fishing. Sometimes you will pick up a few smallies off the rocky points also. When we get tired of trolling we shoot up Meadow creek and tie off to the party dock and jig for perch. I troll with leadcore line, usually two to three colors down. Last fall the Kokanee were smacking the crap out of the rainbow pattern Blue Fox spinners. The cutts were taking yellow and gold Panther Martins or a gold silver combo colorado spoon. Can't wait to get up there. Ice be gone!
