Fishing with Rod: Bottom fishing for kokanee

Originally we had hoped to get this video online a couple of weeks ago but we ran into some technical problems, aka computer crashed.

This kokanee fishing trip resulted in some catches but these little silvers outplayed us at the end. We missed more fish than we hooked.

Here's a way to feel the bite better. One way I like to bottom fish. Slip a 1/4oz egg sinker slip weight on your mainline, tie on a 2 way swivel, leader, then bait. When they grab your bait they pull the line through your weight instead or pulling the weight itself.

@hydroponikroniksmoke We use that rig sometimes as well, depending on the situation.

Hey Rod, I have always found that when the fish are biting really light like that, instead of fishing just a sinker, I like to use a slip bobber. Therefore, this reduces the chances of them feeling the pull of the rod before you set the hook. A slip bobber will help compensate for line tension and also allow the fish more time to take the bait before you set the hook. Try it out next time and let me know! Thanks. Awesome video and scenery though.
