More pressure from 'out of staters' wanting our waters to look more like where they came from? I can't see where it's a good move..just my opinion..
Did get out on Jordanelle this morning with my nephew, his wife and 3 kids, ages 4 and under, they come in every year from Nevada for this outing. Really fun trip with the kidos but maybe not as successful bringing in the fish. We boated 4 kokanee and 6 rainbow. Lost at least 6 kokes between wrangling kids - keeping them from falling in, getting treats, changing, and moderating small altercations - yeah from another boat I am sure it looked like a flying circus. Fish were deep, 39 to 43' were the best depths. I had to change tackle several times to find the best options - Large diamond shaped glow red and blue dodgers with larger bright pink squid was the best. Unfortunately I bought those dodgers on Etsy more than a year ago and cannot find them now. Anyway, the fishing success was not the keynote of this trip. Tom and Becca have been going with me since the time they were dating, engaged, married and now have the 3 kids - since 2016.
It sucked for us, too. We caught 3 small kokes in 7 hours. My buddy caught his two on a blue squid at 27'(!), I caught a small one at ~40'. Lots of time on the water for little return. I'm going to give it a rest.
Single main, no kicker.
