When you say the kokanee don't like the sun, what typically happens with kokes is that they drop to deeper depths during the day, especially when it is sunny. We often will start out at say 16', and when the bite slows, we will drop the 'riggers to 21', and so forth. At Anderson Ranch, I have seen the kokanee on top in the morning, and by early afternoon I was graphing them at 75-90'. Since you are experimenting with trolling for kokanee, might I suggest that you go back to approx. this time last year on this site, and read the posts about Lucky Peak. Aluma165 offers lots of specifics about kokanee fishing, including gear, speed, etc. There is no one more knowledgeable about trolling for kokes than him. You'll learn a lot! Mike
