Looks like willard bay got lots of walleye fry. Lots. Sterilized?
Not to many kokanees for Jordanelle this year but good numbers last year.
Starvation got no walleyes but lots of rainbows.
Fish lake gets no stocking of kokanees?

Thanks likestrolling, Robert
Sometimes the kokanees are fry .5 inch, sometimes it's 3 inch.

The walleye fry they put in Willard are not sterilized. Because walleye reproduce so well in starvation, I did not think they ever stocked them there, I'll have to look at that report and see but I know from reports there are always a lot of those smaller eyes in that lake, all the time it seems to me. Below is just the info on stocked kokes.

From my experiences at Jordanelle we did very well starting 2 years after first stock of kokanee in 2016.   2018 was good, 2019 was great 2020 was pretty good 2021 was pretty tough. This year based on the 3 year rule should have been great. But the predators are all much bigger now and I’m guessing they took a huge toll on the 3 inch kokanee fry.

I think strawberry and Flaming Gorge in 2021 was pretty tough also, there were times I could not get limits for ever one in the boat.

Thanks for posting. The Kokanee stocking in Lost Creek is interesting. Will be fun to see if they take hold in a smaller reservoir. Also of interest, very little stocking of Smallmouth bass. Crappie in Starvation is notable.

Can you share your excel file?

not sure what there is to share
you take all the planting numbers for that year like at strawberry put them in a column and excel
will add them. then excel will make a bar chart for you

I only fish the Wyoming side of The Gorge. Here are the WY Fish & Game Kokanee stocking numbers. I wonder how the Utah stocking affects the WY catch rates. This year was one of the worst in the 23 years I have fished there.

I found the TV show that talks about the kokanee fishing on deka lake and bridge lake in the caribou region in Canada. The big news is they have a shore spawning in the lake after 7 or 8 years growth. WOW . That's producing average 3 to 4 lb 24 inch kokanees...
Produced in the clear lake hatchery by biologist Mike Ramsey.. I would like some of those..

Those would be some studs in the Gorge and Strawberry where they have a much longer growing season each year.
