Kokanee Trolling Flies
I just thought I'd post a picture of a Kokanee Fly I've came up with. I haven't tried it yet but I tried to maximize it's potential in every way I could.
Here it is: 1, under a UV light. 2, Dark w/ Glow properties. 3, Dark w/ UV.
Properties/Features:
-100% UV Materials
-Glow hook on the bottom and glow tentacles
-100% Scentable: No materials will become bogged down and no action when soaked in scent
-Scent Retention: UV Yarn puff on the inside hook holds scent longer than most materials
-Rubber legs give off plenty of attraction and movement
-Will add a bead/smile blade up front
-Tube fly design
It looks like a squid or shrimp! Just thought this would be a cool tie that y'all could use!
Give it to 'em.

You never know what you'll discover..... If you take a couple of steps into the water.

Re: Kokanee Trolling Flies
I'd eat it lol, but I'm curious as to what makes that a fly? Looks like a hochie to me from the pictures.

Re: Kokanee Trolling Flies
Looks a bit like an Ace HI fly with some extras. Kudos Ian, for doing it, it's a little one for sure and you tied it is the most important part!!!
Build a man a fire and he's warm for the night. Light a man on fire and he's warm the rest of his life!

Re: Kokanee Trolling Flies
Nice! What makes it a fly is that he tied them himself. Hoochies are factory made plastic squids and I don't see any of those in his pic. They do look a lot like ace hi flys jrs which I use a lot for Kokanee and work great. Let us know how they work we are all anticipating results lol!

Re: Kokanee Trolling Flies
Ya gotta love all those synthetic materials available to us now.
Glow, UV, Mirror,
Nice to make a lure/fly and have it work.
It has been a hobby for me, and
taught me that certain lakes
prefer different colors.
Glow and UV seem to work
every where.
