10 lb kokanee in Utah

[muirco]

Doesn't our state do most of the kokanee planting with eggs coming from kokanee within strawberry and the gorge? They would have to buy that strain of eggs from another state. I would push for that strain to be put in strawberry and the gorge and have mixer of both strains there. Then, they wouldn't have to buy them out of state every year. Do a mixer for like 4 or 5 years by buying them. Then the eggs would trickle over to other lakes in the state eventually. Just a thought. Also if they don't spawn as often, that might change the stocking numbers again. I would put those in the bigger lakes so they can have a greater chance to survive and spawn. Spawning is a good thing. Catch them all early, no eggs for the future. I can see positives and possible negatives if they aren't managed effectively. The stocking numbers would need to be increased I would think.
