I just got off the phone with the DWR Ogden office.
I asked about Kokanee and the slot limit at Lost Creek.
I was told that at Lost Creek, the Kokanee are classified with Trout and therefore are part of the limit and regulation that requires the release of fish that are within the slot.
A daily limit is 4 total, including Kokanee is in affect there.
I asked about other waters like East Canyon and Flaming Gorge.
The answer that I got was that Kokanee are not held to any slot size at these waters.
ONLY at Lost Creek.
However, Kokanee are listed as part of your limit of Trout at these waters.
Now to make it even more complicated, Porcupine has a completely different limit for Kokanee.
Daily limit there right from the Proc.
"Limit 12 Trout and Salmon, only 4 may be Rainbow, Cutthroat or Brown Trout.
[a combined total] To take 12 fish, you must possess at least 8 Salmon."
Hope this helps.
One more thing.
As of the 2022 Proc, Kokanee Salmon are now part of the total Trout limit.
This is why the slot on Kokanee at Lost Creek is in affect this year.
