Idaho - Lake Coeur d'Alene
Anglers looking to hook up with kokanee salmon tie on a Wedding Band at this scenic northern Idaho hotspot. Rig one of these popular lures behind a No. 7 Hildebrandt flasher and a rubber snubber. Use a limber rod and slowly troll in the top 12 feet of water for best results. The fish should be around Mica Bay by Memorial Day as they migrate up the 25,100-acre lake. Hit the Boothe Park and Beauty Bay waters by late June. Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Panhandle Region, 208-769-1414; fishandgame.idaho.gov
Guide's Tips
Species: Kokanee Salmon
Guide: Jeff Smith, Fins & Feathers, fins1.com; 208-667-9304
Rig Specifics: 7-foot medium- action rod, level-line trolling reel, lead line, with a rig consisting of an No. 7 Hildebrandt spinner blade with a rubber snubber on the back, followed by a wedding-ring spinner lure baited with white corn or maggots.
Quick Tip: Depth is the key. You've got to experiment with your depth range until you start getting bites. Kokanee are suspended fish, and their depth changes throughout the day.
Where to Fish: The whole east arm off the north end of the lake, particularly by Arrowpoint.
