Jordanelle Kokanee Aug 15

[Mildog]

Ond thing I have noticed about many Kokanee studies. They are done in more northern and colder climates. They dont have much data on the warm water, because those conditions may not exist, so hard to study or make observations based on that. Several I have read are from British Columbia. I would assume the conditions up there may be quite different. I can tell you I have caught numerous Kokes at 10 feet or less with surface temps at 70. On a trip a year ago July, Surface 70.2 and the temp at 10 Feet and 15 feet was 67.9 and temp at 45 feet was 54.5 a temperature more "suited" to Kokes. Yet could not catch any fishing that deep got limits at 10 feet and 5 feet. This was at Jordanelle a lake known to produce shallow Koke action. On a trip in early July, I mentioned before at an un-named lake, surface temp was 68.9 and we got limits 3 days straight with most fish at 10 and 5 feet deepest we got that trip was 15 feet. So go figure. I know it works to try shallow sometimes so don't overlook that option.
