Kokanee salmon fishing is booming in Utah, and local guides are making sure anglers have the right tools and knowledge to succeed.
In this on‑the‑water training, Corey Baker of Kokanee Krew Outfitters invites fishing specialists from Scheels for a hands‑on kokanee crash course. The goal is simple: help outdoor retail employees better understand kokanee fishing gear, tactics, and setups so they can more confidently assist Utah anglers.
The day delivers plenty of action, with nonstop bites and multiple kokanee landed, including several impressive 19‑inch fish. From trolling strategies to proper gear selection, the experience highlights why kokanee salmon continue to be one of Utah's most exciting and accessible cold‑water fisheries.
The result is both education and excitement on the water — and better service for anglers across the state heading into the heart of kokanee season.
