It must have been the availability of feed when the reservoir was new. The largest koke I have caught in the last 7 years is 17 inches and weighted only 1 1/2 lbs. With over 200,000 fingerlings stocked each year maybe there is to much competition for the plankton.
Anyway I still like the availability of Ririe to Idaho Falls and the kokanee are one of the best eating fish there is. During the winter season I am on the ice 5 days a week. Last winter was one of the best seasons I've had for numbers. I caught my limit nearly every day. Why don't we hear more good stories about Island Park and the Kokanee? The Fish and Game stock around the same number of kokanee in Island Park as they do in Ririe. People must only be targeting the trout.
