Nighttime Kokanee

Kokanee fishing is a favorite pastime of The Northwest Outdoorsmen. Trolling is the usual method but the guys have also jigged through the ice or casted in open water. Eric Magnuson invited Bob Loomis and Rich Harrod to try jigging for Kokanee in the dark, a unique method to say the least. Loon Lake in eastern Washington was the setting, the wildfire smoke turned the sunset orange, and the Kokanee were snappy after sundown.

I love the smell of fresh fish.

I bet I have driven by Loon lake 100 times as well, always thinking it would be too crowded to bother. Looks like it was not bad at all, did you go during the week? I have not been kokanee fishing in years. They are delicious!

Yes we fished during the week. There are a number of recreational boaters out there but it was too bad.
