I have only fished Kokanee Lake once, which was last summer with Kevin Angevine. We tried trolling a variety of wooly buggers and leeches without much success. After a couple hours we found something that worked, a skull cap bunny tail stinger pattern that resembles a sculpin, a fly Kevin got from Bjorn at The Fly Fisher. We had about 1-1/2 hours with fish every few minutes trolling full sinking lines. At last month’s meeting Kevin mentioned using a stimulator pattern on a floating line that the fish were hitting on the retrieve when fly was below the surface.
