More Kokes...

Utah DWR site lists Smith Morehouse as being stocked with kokes.
12000 fingerlings.

I guess we asked for it, we wanted more different better. And DWR is obliging. Wow. I could have never seen that coming, but they work in Causey, maybe it will work here.

Question, does the size of the lake and available food supply affect the max size of the kokes, so what I am asking, will they get as large as Strawberry or George?

I love it. I really hope jordanelle pans out. Much closer to Ogden than FG or Strawberry.

Causey and Porkie are closer to Ogden.

Not sure what your deal is with Kokes but they are a great option to me... Taste better than planter bows and fight well... Besides they make a great feed base for other fish in the pond... Sorry I'm not seeing a down side... J

Just curious, what would you rather have seen put in here?

Sorry Pal, You won't get much love here with that attitude. Many of us have found the Kokes to be great and the DNR doing a stellar job with them. Guess not everyone is pleased with the same ideas. You have the right to your opinion too.

No they never will, at least on average. Occasionally you will see a few get bigger but on average, small lake small koke, big lake big koke.

I applaud the DWR for there efforts in trying new lakes for Kokanee. The problem is not the Kokanee, they are a wonderful game fish. Utah has so very few Lakes and Reservoirs that fit the needs of Kokanee, if there is a chance that a lake would support a population of them, I say try it. When I was a kid I remember catching them at East Canyon and was amazed at fight and size of the Kokanee.


To the DWR, Thanks so much, keep doing what your doing. I love Kokanee.

We caught quite a few kokes out of East Canyon when I first got stationed here in the late 70's I was sorry to see them disappear. [:/]

i think that the jordanelle will produce good sized kokes. in about three years they may even grow as good as the berry's []

I agree. Although Causey is closer, size matters, at least the size of my boat, and the Pigs kokes although fun to catch are much smaller.

I can't imagine how they will survive in Smith-and Morehouse. I think it's too shallow, but hey I just like to catch something different.

Kind of like being obsessed with Walleyes or Tiger Muskies.
Those with boats that like to troll, add a new twist besides long lining a lure. More finesse and technique.

Wiper on Friday, Musky on Saturday and Kokanee for the Sabath all within 45 minutes from ogden.

Boring State my butt.

Let's fish!!!!

I have heard stories that there used to be some great koke fishing at EC. What do you all think changed to where they don't survive now?
