Frequently Asked Questions

What is Monte's Don Pedro Kokanee Kit?

This kit brings together the kokanee gear Capt. Monte Smith relies on, the same setup behind his limits on Don Pedro Reservoir. It is built for anglers targeting kokanee salmon who want a guide's proven package instead of piecing tackle together on their own.

How do you fish for kokanee?

Kokanee are a slow-troll target. Run your lure at a relaxed trolling speed behind a dodger so the attractor's side-to-side swing telegraphs down to the bait. Kokanee react to that flash and wobble, so keep speeds low and your presentation tight behind the dodger.

Who designed this kit and where does it shine?

Capt. Monte Smith assembled it from the tackle he fishes on Don Pedro Reservoir, where he has been stacking kokanee limits. The kit suits Don Pedro and other kokanee waters, giving you a trusted starting point for a slow-troll spread built by a guide who lives it.
