Most koke-nuts who fish Jordanelle find that their silvery quarry in that lake acts a bit different than in Da Berry or other waters. For one thing, they don't go as deep and are often fairly close to the surface...less than 25'...even in the summer. Not sure about a thermocline forming in Jordy. It gets a constant inflow from the Provo River with equal outflow down to Deer Creek. Probably stays mixed more than some waters.
All of the kokanee I've caught in Jordanelle have come at 40'+/-, and there have been a bunch. I've always seen a thermocline which reads 52F-54F at those depths, with surface temps in the mid 60s.
I've read reports of folks fishing shallow but remain skeptical. Scroll down to temp sensitivity:

My two main concerns are runoff debris and numbers of fish available. I didn't fish it at all last year due to poor reports, but will get up there this week for sure.
Single main, no kicker.
