Opening a of Kokanee Snagging on Navajo Lake, NM -
I don't see Utah ever allowing snagging for kokes because the numbers just aren't there. Utah needs to get another lake certified to take kokes from, currently there are only two lakes that are certified to trap kokes in, the Gorge and the Berry. At one time they also got them from Porcupine but they let that certification expire. It is too late this year, so next year they will likely only be planting Strawberry and the Gorge because of the lack of kokes they trap this year but in talking to Chris Penne, they could get porcupine recertified and have another source for next year if the overall numbers do not improve in the coming weeks.
Funny thing about this article is that I grew up just a little North West of where they are snagging. One of the rivers that feed Navajo lake runs through the town I grew up in and snagging was legal there, with no limits on the snagged kokes, this was back in the 70's. Great thread, brings back a lot of good memories.
Personally, I can't imagine them being very good table fare.
