Pounding 'em at Palisades

[Kodiak1]

As a retired teacher, I will tell you what I told many a student: there is no such thing as a ridiculous question!! Quite frankly, I wouldn't bother trying to catch kokanee from the shore. I fished Payette Lake hard for kokanee from 1958 on, and still fish for kokes in the Boise area, and I have never caught a kokanee from the bank. I can't recall ever seeing anyone else catch one from the bank. Plunking bait just doesn't work; kokanee feed primarily on minute zooplankton. That is why it is a mystery that they even hit lures or corn. Yes, ice fishermen do catch kokanee, but bank fishermen are rarely successful. I think you would be much more successful targeting trout from the shore. Good fishing! Mike
