The technique that can be used from an anchored boat, is using spinner setup with walking weights. This setup is used with dew worms. Just let it sit on bottom and let spin, wait,watch and look out... bang! Fish on. The spinner has a pill float which keeps it off the bottom. Remember all rivers in B.C. are single barbless.<br /> I went September long weekend. One for the boats I saw someone get a walleye close to 7 lbs. Jigs can be used also.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2560972823597755029-5283003579188078824?l=northerneagleblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Fish Magnethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11836842785557664271noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560972823597755029.post-91344329036228009882008-06-01T11:20:00.000-07:002008-06-01T19:55:48.080-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NkaHKdrFxf0/SELydfNFJAI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/aL68nSYWaqY/s1600-h/maggot+fly.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NkaHKdrFxf0/SELydfNFJAI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/aL68nSYWaqY/s400/maggot+fly.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206990707600204802" border="0" /></a> Fishing on Wood Lake just out side of Kelowna is one of the best spots close to town. From middle of April to middle of May is one of the hottest times for fishing Kokanee.<br /> The technique I like to use is trolling with a sinking line, plus I add a heavy tip to the end of the line, this gets the fly down 10 feet. The fly I use is a a maggot fly. This fly can be used as is or I like to add live maggots to the fly the red ones. The other fly I have had great success is a little smelt fly. The reason I like this fly is when you are using this fly, it will also get rainbows.You can get this rainbow streamer at the Canadian tire in <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NkaHKdrFxf0/SEL6SPNFJCI/AAAAAAAAAAg/dp-UQsH6zPo/s1600-h/smelt+fly.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NkaHKdrFxf0/SEL6SPNFJCI/AAAAAAAAAAg/dp-UQsH6zPo/s400/smelt+fly.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206999310419698722" border="0" /></a>Kelowna. My log for this spring on Wood lake April, 13 ,2008 Maggot fly very good 2 P.M. Also went April, 27 ,2008 1:30 P.M. very hot got limit 25 min. There is nothing like getting a Kokanee on the fly, they are great fighters. I have seen them jump up to five times out of the water. <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Posted By Alex Mentes</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />More good news<br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br />After 10 years Kokanee fishing opens in Okanagan Lake.<br /><br />"The Ministry of Environment has decided to allow a harvest quota of the fish to be caught between June 1 and July 31.<br /><br />If the quota of fish caught is reached before July 31, or if a Kokanee is caught before June 1, the fishery will be stopped.
