First of all, I know very little about Kokanee but I'll share the information I read in D. Kent Cannon's book "The Kokanee Obsession". We all appear to be members of that club.
Anyway, we could be in a phase of the year where the development of phytoplankton are in full swing. Zooplankton feed off the phytoplankton and Kokanee spread out like cattle in a green field to feed off the Zooplankton.
Apparently, Kokanee prefer water in the 50-55 degree range. He claims they will sit in or just below this thermocline, come to the warmer water to feed then go back into or just below this layer so that is the area to target.
With so many of us catching so few Kokanee this is as good of an excuse as any.
