[quote cpierce]Why is there some much more about fishing for kokanee in the winter?
Are they so deep and harder to catch in the summer?
What about when they are getting ready to spawn?
Obviously I haven't fished for them! [crazy][/quote]
As prvrt said it's access. Through the warmer summer months you need down riggers and an understanding of temperature at depth to fish them successfully day in and day out. We hit them 4 days a week or better in the summer and then chase the huge ones at the Gorge. Flaming Gorge has them in the 4 to 5 lb. range so that has become the Mecca for most Kokanee Fishermen!
