    In this live stream I will be discussing how to locate Kokanee on both large river influenced reservoirs and smaller lakes. I will discuss the role of food distribution, seasonality, current, and spawning season to help you better locate schools of Kokanee in your Kokanee lakes across the season.

    We spend $5, $10, $15 on tackle. Knowledge like this is far more important than a bunch of lures. Well deserved "thanks".

    I really enjoy when you discuss water chemistry, temperature, and the relationships between the two. Having been a saltwater reef aquarium hobbyist/ small business owner, I've done a large amount of researching on these topics. Dissolved Oxygen, pH, and plankton behavior, and how all of that was affected by even slight temperature differences, or even an extra hour of light, each day. The diurnal behavior of plankton is so important to corals, giant clams, inverts, etc., and so influenced by photo period, temperature and flow. When you mentioned "the largest daily migration on the planet," you're absolutely right! That plankton migration takes place in just about every body of water on earth, not just the ocean. Studies have been made at Salt Lake, and much closer to home, Soap Lake. Both lake surfaces actually change color, in the same diurnal pattern, as zooplankton migrate, from visibly effecting the water color, to deeper waters, where they're not visible.

    Been watching your videos for a couple weeks now, very good channel. Former fish biologist from Alaska moved down to Washington and I'm having to learn walleye & Kokanee- your videos have been very helpful!
    Good breakdown overall of a thermocline. Interestingly, when I worked on an arctic lake back in Alaska, Toolik lake (arctic field station) had 2 thermoclines at one point during the summer! And of course it has the benthic zone which was anoxic for most of the summer. We would record all of the chemistry along with the depth profiles. The sonde's would get lowered meter by meter & give live readings, pretty cool!
    Anyway, keep it up man!

    Really appreciate this content and all the other content you share with us. I'm in my 40's and just started fishing a year ago. I'm am still shit at it, but I'm getting better thanks to your help.

      @@spiltmilt I think the "aha" moment for me is when I realized that fishing is a lot like hunting. Knowing what the prey and their food source will be is key for us to be in the right place at the right time and this info helps a lot with that aspect.
      I also enjoy chasing rainbow trout and would appreciate a detailed video like this on that species.

      The great thing about this video is as you go through the info, I'm thinking about previous trips over the years and applying this info I can understand why I had good days and bad days...like last year early spring I used my Fishhawk on Arrowrock for the first time and had only a five degree variant in 75 feet...and we were far up from the dam...with those temps I can see the flow was high so we should've started at the dam...lol

    I do badly wanted to participate in this, live, while the chat was open. Unfortunately, life got in the way. I'm currently paused, at 7:58, and I've already learned a lot! I know I'll learn so much more! I also know, I'll be watching this video several more times! As a newer Kokanee fisherman, and a newer boat owner, I cannot wait to use all of the knowledge, gained by your videos, this spring! Right now, the boat is under a couple feet of snow still, unfortunately.

    in my early days of kokanee fishing, needlefish lures were the recommended choice behind a troll. I can't remember the last time I used one though. Do you think they still work in our lakes and would a modern rigging behind a new-style dodger be possible or even effective?

    • @spiltmilt
      @spiltmilt  Рік тому

      I am sure they would still catch but I don't think they are as effective. Thanks for your support.

    Tyler can you recommend some source of info on lake whitefish like their life cycle , habits and behaviour in Banks Lake. I ice fish for them and this past season i was not as successful so need to know that fish better.

      Thank you ! I tryed internet of course and there are mostly how to catch them, however I want to understand their behaviour so that I can adjust technique depending on what they are doing or avoid things that spooks them.

      At bridge lake in the Cariboo I know a guy that anchors off a sunken island point adjacent to,a steep,drop-off, he uses dameselfly nymphs and works it up the slope to good effect. He runs the tacklestore in lone Bute on the corner of hwy24 going up to the Cariboo
      I have caught a few with trolling a slow sink line and a gold bead head 52 buick
