Has anyone on here fished for kokes with a fly rod and had any success…
I am going up to Idaho to try again any advise or tips would be great..
Thanks
The only time othere than at Porcupine that I have picked them up on a fly rod was in the Green river ( WY) with glo bugs.
Ya I got to pick up some glos never fished with them..
I got a dozen or so flashy streamers and mop leachs. In crazy colors maybe they will induce a strike..
Well I might go up there today or tomorrow maybe Ill get lucky..
Well thanks for the reply. If I do Ill have to post some pics.
It is tuff on a fly. They eat Zoo Plankten. Larry Tullis had a fly that did work at Strawberry for me. A purple Mohair leech, but you take the paint pens for material (Michael’s) and put a dab on the fibers sticking out. Glow in the dark and Orange paint works great.
Larry’s Daphina fly. Actually had some luck with them on Treasureton.
Ill have to grab a couple of pens thanks…
I am so dead set on catching them damn kokes on a fly luckly theres plenty of trout and bass in there too..
Damn It no luck yesterday.
All I ended up catching was slime rockets and a bunch of greenies…
Ill post a pic or two.. them basstards are hard to catch on a fly and ill have to check that fly out Larrys Daphina ummmmm.
No luck on the kokes but I ended up fishing for trout and bass.
Them damn kokes are hard on a fly… Ill be at next week.
heres a few pics I took up there. Nothing great though…
My biggest slime rocket went 19 inch while I was fumbling around with him and my phone he slipped off my toon…
RIGHT ON!
The Koke are going to be real tuff to catch right now. Aren’t they going into the spawn mode?
I know while up fishing Coffee Pot last year in Idaho, they were swimming all around my legs and bright red and that was in Sept.
Going with a bunch of guys up to Strawberry around October 13th for a big get together. I wanna stop off and look at the hatchery.
Love them KOKE!
[;)] got into some kokes on sunday 9th
I landed 6 of them.
And yes Flygoddess there red red red…
It looked so cool they were staging at the inlet and were running up the stream. I wish I had a better camara on me.
every pool had red kokes in it. I caught a bunch of rainbows that were showdowing the kokes. I ended up catching them on.
A Ripple Crush. all it is basiclly is glo bug with flash..
I fished the res for a couple of hours had great luck on the slime rockets. And got into the kokes at the inlet then up river.
