Ok, I can report a Kokanee being Caught at Jordanelle .
I was fishing at 120 feet trolling at 6 miles an hour with a T-50 frog flatfish. We got 20 total up to 24” long. OH WAIT THAT WAS YESTERDAY AND IT WAS APRIL FOOLS!!
Now seriously my third trip this season to Jordanelle was the charm sort of. Finally caught a single Kokanee today Friday 4/2 at about 12:30. Only hit of the day fished from about 11:15 till about 3:30 caught it at 20 feet on pink squid and silver scale dodger. Did not mark many fish at any depth. Talked to two other boats 1 rainbow each no kokes. Now that the ice is all gone I was able to try several areas that were good last year. No luck but the single kokanee we got. I remember a period early last season when it had been good but then it shut off for a couple weeks then it came on and was good all summer. I’m holding out hope that is the case. But as I mentioned in another post I have a bad feeling that this year might not be as good as past 3 years. I plan to wait a bit and try again. I have a theory as to why it MIGHT not be good for kokes this year. Hope I’m wrong and it improves.
Here’s a picture of todays Koke on my homemade fillet station and holding it.
