More and more Muskies!

[Gone Forever]

I don't think the tigers will get out to the middle and down to the depths to do much harm to the Kokes. They are more of a shallow to mid depth hide around structure fish. I am thinking that the small, really small, smallmouth is what they are thinking they will cull.

Muskies suspend over deep water if food source is there. I caught plenty trolling 20 to 30ft down over deep basins with ciscoes when I lived in the Midwest

I consider 30' to be "mid depths". Kokes now are at 40-60'.
Yes, any predator follows the easy food.  In the case of Jordanelle that is the stunted smallmouth bass that occupy the shallow water out to 20' deep or so.  That is also where much of the vegetation from the drought grew, providing forage habitat and ambush points.
