I agree with you much of your thoughts Angling Archer and BYUHunter ( do you hunt Zoobies Lol sorry I couldn’t resist) I would say that I catch my fair shore and do as well as most in many waters in Ut and other states on Kokes.
At Jordanelle for the last three years I have had no trouble limiting the boat usually in short order, from late April to August, when I start doing other things, like bow hunting. last year Jordanelle was on in March!!!
So far this year it has been tough for me and for several others that I know are very accomplished koke fishers. The fact the other lakes are already “on” shortly after ice out while Jordanelle does not seem to be happening makes me nervous. It’s not that big and easier to search and find them than most lakes.The timing of the slowdown, if there is one, lines with my predator theory. From the time and size they were planted this would be the year the issue would begin to have a serious effect.
As we all know time will tell. Still hoping I’m wrong but will be heading to greener pastures in and out of state soon. Will be chasing smallies walleye wipers and turkeys soon as well, so many targets and so little time!! Lake Powell was good action for SMB,LMB,crappie we targeted Walleye a bit more and filleted 25 for groceries, cut the crappie a break and also released everything else, just kept the walleyes.
