Hey D13, great summary. It does give a more complete picture. WH2, yes that is exactly what I saw when I posted this thread. The problem is I do not know the overall decisions at the DNR. I was hoping for a DNR representative that really knows the program to maybe chime in and give us the decision thinking. I have heard that a new strain of kokanee that spawns in the lake have been planted - maybe that strain was expected to have better natural recruitment and thus make up the difference. Maybe another fish species needed more resources in 2018 - since my personal point of interest is in kokanee, I may not have taken other fish species into account (of course the division does not make decisions around my personal preferences).
Anyway I do have confidence that the DNR people do their very best to provide great fisheries for us all. I have felt the kokanee program has been stellar for quite a few years, so a down year is just part of the process.
Thanks all for the research and input. Thanks to the DNR for making all the data available for search.
