Don Pedro Lake Fishing Report | June 30

I’ve spent years dialing in the exact fish attractant profile that kokanee respond to, and Kokanee Slammer is the result. This amino-based formula combines tuna and herring oils in a concentration specifically matched to the forage kokanee key on during active feeding periods — not a generic scent blend, a formula built around what these fish are actually eating. I apply it to my dodgers, T-Pex lures, and hoochies before every troll, and I’ve watched it turn slow days into full limits when other boats were struggling. Kokanee are scent-driven fish — give them what they’re looking for and they commit faster and hold on longer.

Uncle Larry’s UV Squid is the upgrade hoochie built for low-light, deep-water, and stained-water conditions where UV visibility gives you a measurable edge over standard squid patterns. The UV coating enhances the squid’s visibility at depth while the squid-skirt profile maintains the pulsating, breathing action that kokanee, rainbow trout, and landlocked salmon key on behind a dodger at slow trolling speeds. Available in 12 vibrant colors including UV-enhanced patterns that outperform non-UV squids at the depths where fish hold during peak feeding. Fish them behind a CA Trolling Dodger for a complete slow-troll setup.

The Catch America 6-inch Stainless Steel Trolling Dodger is the standard-bearer of the kokanee and trout troll — a wide-swinging attractor that pulls fish in from the surrounding water column while imparting action to any trailing lure. Premium stainless steel construction holds its shape and finish through a full season of hard use without the distortion and corrosion that compromise cheaper alloy dodgers over time. The 6-inch size delivers the ideal balance of attractor flash and line drag, making it compatible with everything from medium-action kokanee rods to heavier downrigger setups. Available in 10 proven finish options including Moon Jelly, 24K Gold, Black Diamond, and Green Diamond.

The Catch America 9-inch Stainless Steel Trolling Dodger is designed for big-water applications where maximum attractor presence is needed to draw fish from deeper in the water column or across wider strike zones. Its oversized blade produces a pronounced wide-swing action with significant water displacement, triggering aggressive responses from rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, and kokanee when smaller dodgers aren’t reaching far enough into the spread. Premium stainless steel construction ensures the blade holds its shape and finish through a full season of hard use without distortion or corrosion. Available in 22 color patterns covering diamond, chrome, and painted finishes.
