New waters for kokanees

[wiperhunter2]

I went up and checked the river above Jordanelle last fall, there were quite a few kokes spawning. I have not heard and have no idea if there has been any successful return from the spawn in the river. I would be interesting no know if the DWR has any info on that.
My guess is that the return in negligible not sure why but that’s my guess.
I still have a theory that Jordanelle is not going to be as good as the last 3 years for Kokes.
I may post something on that later after another trip or two to try and get into them. Here are a couple pics I took, there were a number of pools that had kokes spawning in the hundred yard stretch I looked at. It was hard to get pics unless the sun angle was right so I just took a couple.

Well that is great news, I think if even a few can have a successful spawn, they will over time increase their numbers, just like The Berry. Even at the Berry the DWR stocks a lot of kokes there. IMO of all the lakes they are stocking the kokes in, Jordanelle has the best chance of being a success, because of the size and depth of the lake, time will tell.
