I actually contacted the biologist this week about Electric lake. I asked why they were not planting Kokanee anymore. He responded that they were seeing enough natural reproduction and they felt that they didn't need to stock it. I told him that was not what I was seeing and that EL Kokanee fishing had declined since they quit stocking it. He said they were gill netting this fall and if they saw a decline they would reconsider.
Personally, I think they wanted the Kokanee for Strawberry, FL, Jordanelle and the other popular reservoirs and that's why they quit stocking EL. Either that or they are just incompetent and really think things are fine. It honestly is probably a little of both.
Here is The DWR Biologist's (Justin) number 435.820.6020 If anyone want to tell him how bad EL has gotten in the last few years. Maybe if enough people contact them, they will put a few Kokanees in there.
