Kokanees

Yesterday, when volunteering at a local hatchery, I noticed that there were Kokanees in the tank with the Brookies, Bows, and Browns. In full spawning colors these fish are certainly beautiful, and their seagoing cousins are no less beautiful. There are lakes around me, stocked full of these fish by the hatchery, and I want to pursue these fish with a fly rod. Any ideas for flies or techniques?

Welcome

Hi everyone,

 I started this blog to share and even learn new fly patterns. I have been tying for some time now and I felt that I should share my outdoor affairs with the world. Many patterns are to come along with techniques on how to fish them. My primary interests are with the cold water species, i.e. all the species of Trout and Salmon etc, but living in Connecticut,  I have access to trout rivers, bass lakes, pan fish ponds and even saltwater and respective patterns will be posted. So without further ado, here is the Cold water fly tyer blog.
