The lake I fish for rainbows and smallies in the spring has got Kokanee in it. The browns follow the Kokanee schools around and forage. You find the Kokanee, you find the browns. That true where you fish also? Nice one. Thanks for sharing.

That is Detroit Reseivoir Oregon , Willamette Valley. There are no browns in the lake just rainbows. Just over the mountains (Cascades) most of the lakes have both Kokanee and Browns and yes that is true..
Those browns get fat on the Kokanee!

Nice ‘bow.
Do you use braided line for trolling with the downriggers?
