Thanks Brian, I bought it from @Buzzy and put on my old FS86 Fenwick. Great little combo.

My fave for sockeye trolling or mooching a light weight lead and cut plug herring.

If they are ocean run, they are called sockeye salmon. By definition, kokanee remain freshwater residents for life. In some lakes, kokanee approach, and occasionally exceed the size of their ocean run counterparts. Or is that what you meant?

I'm aware of that @Salmo.
I need to make a lot of attempts at humor to get a few to land.

That pretty much describes my fishing, too.

Wanative you missed the point that humor has to be at someone's expense. Try that you'll land more.

Buzzy,

You're referring to the good old days when we used to call kokanee "Silvers"...

Amiright???

Yup, far as I know kokanee are still silvers. I was spoofing Fred, he's spent much of his life working in the seafood business, he knows his fish.

They call those blueback when taken from the only source I know on the OP. They used to taste great.

Yes! I remember reading the 1973 edition Washington State fishing guide when I was a kid, trying to learn about fishing. It talked about some lakes having Silver Trout and then in parentheses saying they were actually Kokanee, or land locked sockeye.
