Gear for the fish stocked here

Kokanee

Rod: Ultralight, limber trolling rod, often 7 to 8 feet. A soft rod helps keep fish on.

Line: Light main line. Leader between dodger and lure is usually 10 to 15 lb mono, since kokanee are not leader shy. A rubber snubber helps.

Baits: white shoepeg corn, often scented, maggots, worms

Lures: small hoochies (soft plastic squids), small spinners, small spoons
