Normally on the Wyoming side this time of year but any info would be appreciated.We were there last week and our experience fishing for kokes and our experience was not great. We fished a number of places from Hideout on the south to just below the confluence out of Buckboard. This was the poorest we have ever done at the Gorge for kokes. Talking with other anglers we found similar stories. Occasionally we would talk with someone that had found some cooperative fish. I also talked with a Dwr biologist from Dutch John that indicated that this has been a strange year. He said he had done best fishing near the dam trolling close to he points and ledges. He also said he had success jigging for kokes when he found them grouped up. I think if I were going to the Gorge this week I would put a line of two out with Koke rigs but would focus more on fishing for rainbows, lake trout, or even bass. For what it’s worth. Good luck.
