I have had wave action stimulate the Kokanee bite over and over again, both at Strawberry and at the Gorge. Same thing for trout in Deercreek. When the waters calm ... no action. Soon as the waves get over a foot or so the fish turn on.
I always thought it was the light refraction, but when the Kokes are at 40' like yesterday it would seem to rule that out. The up and down motion might have something to do with it, although I had a long set back on the downriggers, probably in the range of 40 to 50 feet that would minimize the up/down motion.
I, too, would like to others input on this interesting subject. Trueblue2
