GREAT PICTURES AND NICE FISH. DID YOU USE DODGERS FOR THE KOKANEE? I AM TRYING AN EXPERIMENT TO CATCH STRIPERS WITH DODGERS. WHAT YOU THINK? CLOSE LEADER, UNDER 12"OR LONGER UNDER 3'? I AM VERY INTERESTED IN ANY REPLY. THANKS

Nicely done Jeep! I've never caught either but would like to some day. Those kokanee don't look very "salmonoid"--maybe b/c they're young?

Yummy! Never having seen one in real life, I always picture them as landlocked sockeye.
