What fly to tie to catch Kokanee Salmon?

Recommended Posts

What kind of flies could I tie to catch Kokanee salmon? I caught Salmon using just normal lures but I would like to try some fies. I am only a beginner but can tie quite a few flies. What would you recomend?

Thanks

well boss crawdads work well. and IMHO would go more for a blue then a red (at the depth the kokanee are they cant see red any more its more grey to them) try a white tailed blue face bunny leach a nice 3-3 1/2 inch one. not trying to bash years of catchin fish tie up the red and white too.

Any smaller fly of fluorescent color and lots of flash. Don't set the hook hard, they have soft mouths.

 

Here is one recipe for the Kokanee Kandy

 

Hook: #10 long shank

Head: silver barbel eyes

Tail: Fl. Orange Marabou

Body: Fl. Orange Chenille with mylar mixed in (I think this is sold as "Polar Chenille")

Wing: Pearl Krystal Flash
