Kokanee are a land lock form of sockeye as with all salmon they spawn only once and then die. They typically spawn at age 4. For some reason don't enter the fisheries much until their final year of life thus the smaller (younger) fish are rarely caught. The size of the maturing fish can vary greatly depending on the number of fish in a lake and the productive of the lake. The fish maybe only 6 or 8 inches long or in very productive waters up to several pounds.

The most commonly used bait for brown bullheads is nightcrawlers. Most folks fish the them during the late spring/summer period with low light/dark periods being the most consistent. While they can be caught this time of year it can be tough to find a good spot. The only locations where I have consistent good luck are isolated shallow bays that warm quickly. A large bay with a muck bottom (dark) that is only a couple feet deep is the best. This is the one time of year when the best fishing would be in mid-day, especially on sunny days.
