Rod I've watched many of your videos, and I especially enjoyed your HONESTY that you started at 11:00 and it was around 3:00 and you had only caught about 10 Koke's saying " I haven't really found the BIG schools " That is REAL fishing, and I also know you and I have also been (IN) them were you can't knock them off your line fast enough. I was at Odell Lake in Southern Oregon and jigging has 15 fish in 20 minutes. They have a 25 bag limit, and I got it in that first hour. BEST day ever.
Thank you Paul, I appreciate the comment. :) I try to document my trips in these videos as accurately as possible so people can relate to them. Not every trip works out for sure but they make the good times that much more enjoyable.
As a suggestion when you show a lure or piece of equipment hold the camera still on the item for about 5 seconds for us to get a good look at it and hold it in the palm of your hand so it will have a good contrast to see the details. A lot of us are out of the area you are fishing in like myself in N. California that the lures your using are not available here but we may want to try them in our local lakes if we know what they look like to buy them online. You have great video's I enjoy watching them.
+Crowman Absolutely. I normally do show the lure close-up but this time I forgot to film it so had to do it without. The name of the lure is a Gibbs Croc spoon. 1/16oz is the size that I use for these fish, but these are also available in 1/8, 3/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4oz... Lots of different patterns are available but my personal preferences are the brass/nickel/copper hammered fire stripe. Thanks for watching!
Not really. kokanee spawn in September and October just like sockeye salmon, so the best fishing occurs before mid August. By late August, you'd start catching fish with some spawning colours. Your target species are the three year olds or older since those are the biggest fish. Sure you can fish now, but you'd be catching much smaller fish in the younger year classes since all the big adults are in creeks spawning by now.
+Dawson Ignatieff Without a fish finder, you should get a hold of a copy of the lake's map and depth chart, so you at least have some idea how deep the lake it and where the changes are. I'd watch what other boats are doing. If there are boats trolling, watch where they are hooking fish, chances are they will intercept a school of fish when they hook into some.
@@FishingwithRod OK. In our lake in Japan, the number of hooks is no limit. And one day catch limit is 50. Recently I am in trouble for kokanee not bite sabiki.
+Yannick Bruyninckx Thanks! Right now Gibbs Delta products are only available in North America. Their website will be relaunched soon and I believe the option of purchasing some online might be available then. I'll ask.
+jimmjimm6699 40ft has always been the depth where we catch these fish at this particular lake, but of course kokanee will travel in deeper water in some lakes. I'd say depending on the clarity of the water, you can go even deeper without worrying about not getting sunlight down there. In the ocean we sometimes troll the lures in 100ft+ of water so light is certainly not an issue. Keep in mind that the attraction is not only visual, the vibration caused by the lure is also bringing in fish.
+Trouta Holic With the smaller spoon it actually doesn't tangle very easily. That tangle in the video was the only time that happened that day. The smaller all purpose hook eliminates most of the tangles.
They don't really take earthworm. It's still good, but usually at some point between April and early June, fishing dies down completely and picks up again around mid June.
Chironomid hatches taper off, the fish don’t concentrate on the bottom or near the surface, instead they scatter all over in the water column. You can still catch them by trolling, but it’d be hard to find fish by anchoring and fishing one specific depth.
@@FishingwithRod Wow how do you know all this lol. And it may have begun to die down already I was out yesterday and not many boats were getting fish. I didn't get anything but two coho which aren't retainable.
+Marcie Yang 6lb test is a good starting line. I like to go down to 4lb but that's not necessary. Any lure will work under the right condition really, as long as you know how to use it.
Very good video and the making is very nice too. Well done! Could you do a video while fishing on a river in the next couple months? Keep going! Cheers and good luck fishing!
+Jon Fisher These spoons, the 1/16oz Gibbs Croc spoons should work well for trout in creeks too. We did a video a couple of years ago using these while fishing for trout in the Skagit River. It's a pretty versatile lure.
Awesome cause i have been trying to find if rice lake was stocked on the 11th. YOUR A LIFE SAVER. I'm coming down this thursday annd most likely fishing sunday or monday so do you think there be a good chance in catching fish? and do you know when they stock next? Thanks
+HockeyBoys GoneFishing I'm not sure when the next stocking is, possibly this Thursday as it is often once every couple of weeks, but more likely to be after the long weekend. Rice Lake generally produces consistently as fishing pressure is not as high as other urban stocked lakes, so you should be able to catch some too.
Yes thats such great news you are literally the best rodney !!! your a life saver. Im thinking on bringing down spinners and some trout power bait and a fly rod. Do you think we will have a good chance on catching some trout? Thanks
loved our video, tried this with no success. now critical is the spoon choice. I bought some spoons that look like yours but no success yet. also its the middle of summer. any thoughts?
Did you mark any fish on the sounder? Kokanee are generally not a selective feeder, but it's important to be fishing in waters where they are schooling up. This applies to all techniques that you use to target them (jigging, bait fishing, trolling).
Heyy. Im coming down to North Vancouver this week and i was looking at fishing Rice Lake because it says it was last stocked March 11th 2016. Do you know if thats true ? and do you have any other good places to fish in north van? Thank you!!
+HockeyBoys GoneFishing That's correct, Rice Lake was stocked on the 11th and there most likely will be another stocking coming up. It's the only lake available in North Vancouver. The Capilano River is another option but this time of the year it's usually pretty quiet.
today I went to a near by lake a trolled for some trout and kokanee and I hooked a 2 lb kokanee and my dad hooked a trout but we both lost our fish is there a more effective way to catch these fish ?
+Viseth Phaisan Personally I prefer not to troll unless you know exactly where the fish are schooling. I like to anchor and use a couple of different techniques to target fish that are swimming by, like spoon jigging shown in this video, bait fishing with float, or fly fishing.
+Ethan Yang it's personal preference. Kokanee can be good for smoking, baked fresh etc. Some people don't like them because they seem to retain a bit of lake/mud taste in the flesh especially later on in the summer. I personally enjoy eating them but they're not my favourite.
The anchors are secured on Scotty's anchor holders, which are the best for managing your anchor system. I use two 20lb pyramid anchors, one on the front and one on the back, with 60ft of rope each. You can see the entire setup at: th-cam.com/video/ohPhiF2JjOs/w-d-xo.html
Hello rod, I got a question. When you drop your lure down to the bottom, do you leave it suspended a lil above the lake floor or is your lure resting on the bottom?
Mark Almadin That spoon needs to be suspending just above the bottom. 1/2 foot on the drop. Sometimes 1 foot or more can mean no bites. I like to let it drop to the bottom once awhile, let it hit the mud so it'd create a cloud of silt. That puff attracts the fish to the area, at least that's what I think anyway. 😄
i really enjoy watching your videos, i never thought i would get such a kick out of watching others catch fish, but your very entertaining! thanks again.....oh almost forgot to ask.. at what depth do you find kokanee usually? where i live (idaho) our lakes tend to be very deep up to 150 feet in some places.
Thanks Chad. It's hard to say what depth you should be targeting kokanee down there actually because every lake's biology is quite different. For example, fish in the lake in this video generally school right along the bottom at 40 to 45ft deep. That's as deep as this lake gets. We've also fished bigger and deeper lakes before where majority of the fish in fact school close to the surface or just 20 to 30 feet below in 100+ feet of water. A sounder is really necessary for this fishery to point out the depth where fish are schooling.
+TOUMENG HER I've had that jacket for almost ten years now. It's the old model of Simms Guide jacket which fits very nicely, stays waterproof and windproof even after all these years. It's no longer available, but you might be able to find one on ebay.
Hi Dillon, it really depends on where the fish are. In the summer months when the top portion of the lake is warm, most of the fish are going to be schooling close to the bottom. Jigging the spoon vertically close to the bottom like we did in this video works great in that situation.
You're welcome. What you'll need to do is to spot the schools on the sounder. A sounder is pretty important for kokanee fishing, to figure out at exactly what depth the schools are swimming at. I've fished lakes where the fish are all hanging around the bottom and lake depth is 40ft, and I've also fished at lakes that are 100ft deep and the fish are all hanging out at 20 feet below the surface.
Fishing with Rod sorry for all the questions. ive read online that in the summer you have to troll, but i have no down riggers. can you still jig them with sucsess in the summer if you find the school?
Two different tactics. With trolling you first determine at which depth the fish are schooling at, and you are covering as much water as you can by moving from point A to point B, hoping to intercept fish. With jigging, you are anchored so the boat is stationary, after you identify where the school are frequently appearing. By keep jigging at the same spot, you are hoping to attract the school into the area as they swim by, and intercept fish that way instead. Both have their advantages. Personally I like to anchor and fish because I find trolling not very interesting, so it's totally personal preference.
Hey Rod watched probably all of your videos and got a question. Where do you buy 1/16 ounce croc spoons? I haven’t seen anything less than 1/8 ounce?? Thanks
They are hard to find because retailers generally don't bring them in. I'd ask your local tackle store and get them to order some if you are looking for them.
@@4Runner123 The website appears to only showing their webstore which doesn't offer all the products instead of the catelogue, so I'd try emailing them if you want to make sure.
Depending on where you are located. If you are in the US, they can be harder to find. The best thing to do is to phone their office at 1 (888) 661-1984, or email info@gibbsdelta.com. Someone will definitely get back to you and find a way for you to order them. :)
No actually these are in fact 1/16oz, the smallest ones available. I also use 3/16oz ones, but for bull trout and bigger rainbow trout in streams and creek mouths at lakes. There is a different video where those have been used: th-cam.com/video/m5HSwaXl2Dc/w-d-xo.html
finskins31 Gibbs still makes 1/16oz Crocs. They are not found at most retail stores because they usually don’t get enough demand so no orders are placed for them. I would ask the store to get some in if you would like to get some. Also, Gibbs Delta now has an online store on their website so you should be able to order some there too.
why are u fishing like 50 pound braid on a ul rod? If this line isn't atleast rated 40+ lb i'd check some other brands (like daiwa j braid x8 or somthing). There's no use in having such thick line if u only have about 10 lb of drag..
Ahad, the reason it seems like I am aggressively reeling these fish up is that Kokanee have a tendency to shoot straight up from the deep to the surface. I am actually trying to keep up with the fish by reeling in quickly. Most of fish are lost when they break surface, which isn't unusual for kokanee/sockeye salmon.
Rod I've watched many of your videos, and I especially enjoyed your HONESTY that you started at 11:00 and it was around 3:00 and you had only caught about 10 Koke's saying " I haven't really found the BIG schools " That is REAL fishing, and I also know you and I have also been (IN) them were you can't knock them off your line fast enough.

+Ethan Yang If you're using shrimp, try sprinkle some Pautzke Bait FireCure on them.
Hey Rod, would there still be good fishing on this lake in September and October?
Not really. kokanee spawn in September and October just like sockeye salmon, so the best fishing occurs before mid August. By late August, you'd start catching fish with some spawning colours. Your target species are the three year olds or older since those are the biggest fish. Sure you can fish now, but you'd be catching much smaller fish in the younger year classes since all the big adults are in creeks spawning by now.

what lures are your favorites to jig with?
spoon types or pink Kokanee style jigs as well?
what are your favorite spoon types?
thanks in advance!
1/16oz Gibbs Croc spoons like the ones used in this video.
if its this thursday that would be great. I really hope its not over fished already so i hope we catch something
+HockeyBoys GoneFishing A conversation with the hatchery manager this morning confirmed that it will be stocked again tomorrow. Have a great weekend!
I feel limit of kokanee fishing with sabiki rigs. Is using spoons good way?
You're only permitted to use one hook so sabiki rigs could not be used here.
@@FishingwithRod OK. In our lake in Japan, the number of hooks is no limit. And one day catch limit is 50. Recently I am in trouble for kokanee not bite sabiki.
@@niru04fuji Yep, I fished in Japan when I was little. :)
@@FishingwithRod That's good. Unfortunately kokanee fishing is not popular than the North America. I am supplies that is so popular there.
can u catch trout this way also ?

+Fishing with Rod I hope they do. In the USA and online it is hard to find below 1/4oz.
do you use a snap swivel?
I don’t.
what kind of rod you using? weight? and length
5' or 6' spinning rods rated 1 to 4lb or 2 to 6lb test are best.
Most spoons I get have treble hooks. What size single hook would you recommend for such a small lure and what style hook. Thanks for the videos.

+Jules Has Gone Fishing Thanks!
What rod did you use?
Thank you!
Hey, how to do rig your SLR camera on the boat?
Either with a heavy duty tripod, or with a Scotty camera mount.
What depth of lakes will this work on. Like, if it's too deep I would imagine sunlight won't hit the lure.
+jimmjimm6699 40ft has always been the depth where we catch these fish at this particular lake, but of course kokanee will travel in deeper water in some lakes.

And bye the way do you know what bait is the easiest to use for catching a quick limit, here in California it's heavily pressured when trout fishing.
+Ethan Yang I've never fished in Cali, but usually cooked deli shrimp are the go-to bait for trout.
Hey Rod, is shorecasting good at kawkawa?
No unfortunately. Perhaps for the odd trout, but for kokanee fishing a boat is needed.
can you go a bit heavier on the spoon to prevent tangling??
+Trouta Holic With the smaller spoon it actually doesn't tangle very easily. That tangle in the video was the only time that happened that day. The smaller all purpose hook eliminates most of the tangles.

Hi Rod. Is it too late to jig for kokane now? And do they eat earthworms?
They don't really take earthworm. It's still good, but usually at some point between April and early June, fishing dies down completely and picks up again around mid June.
@@FishingwithRod what is the reason for it dying down and then picking back up?

***** It might be te lighting then.. just looked a bit hefty to me... great segment though.. nice and relaxed way to catch some trout!
+Lars Vegas Thanks.
could we meet cuz I live here to
You cut ya finger
Yep.
Rod do you know why you are losing your koks?
You reel in very aggressively,plz be gentle with this fish and reel in slowly after hook setting.
Ahad, the reason it seems like I am aggressively reeling these fish up is that Kokanee have a tendency to shoot straight up from the deep to the surface. I am actually trying to keep up with the fish by reeling in quickly. Most of fish are lost when they break surface, which isn't unusual for kokanee/sockeye salmon.
This video is totally wrong!
