So for the sake of discussion we have lost all the Kokes everyone is talking about. What kind of remedy is there by F&G to not let this or reduce this from happening again. Ririe Kokanee fishing produces not just a lot of fun and great food for people, but, I imagine the dollar value that it produces to our area is impeccable.
I realize as probably most who fish for Kokes on Ririe that it is a put and take fishery and dependent upon what F&G can get at the time and plant into the pool. Other than this continuing, can that be changed some how such as taking plants from a different source to reduce this from happening? Do we have any spawning waters within Ririe that can hold any spawning? Is there any spawning at all within the Ririe fishery?
Just throwing some things out there for thought. Like others of you who have posted here. I hope that F&G will chime in some time soon to let the public know what has happened to such a valuable fishery and with that a great monetary lose to the entire area.
