10 lb kokanee in Utah

[wiperhunter2]

Triploid Kokanee, just like Triploid Rainbows are sterile, so they don't spawn, that is why they live longer. From what I read about them, it is only the female that lives longer, the male lives about the same amount of time as non Triploid Kokanee. The biggest advantage to these kokes compared to non Triploid Kokanee, other than them growing larger is that because they do not spawn and die, they live for 2 to 3 more years, this would gives fisherfolks more of a chance to catch them. Most of our smaller lakes, like Porcupine, Causey and State line Res, the kokes rarely get over a max size of 13 to 14" but these Triploid fish, because they live longer could in theory get 5 or 6" longer but even if they would only 3 or 4" longer that would be an improvement.
