I have been a avid fisherman for years mostly trout, steel-head and salmon. Looking to make a splash in the kokanee world never fished them before. I have been getting ready all winter gearing up with all the goods needed to put fish in the boat. It seems super addictive just buying the gear so heavens knows what will happen when the fish hit the ice chest. love reading all i can about these fish and ready to put it to them into the ice this season.
