The problem at East Canyon was the very small stream feeding the
reservoir; it is not anything like the Provo River coming into Jordanell. Look at Flaming Gorge; there is a lot more Kokanee in Wyo. Because they spawn in the Green River and the Utah side only has Sheep Creek and a few other small Creeks. The bigger the river the more space to spawn.
One cannot say that the Kokanee would eat all the zooplankton leaving very little for the other fish. The amount of plankton has more to do with light, Nitrogen and space. The trout in Jordanelle are full of Daphnia, so are the trout in Deer Creek, Strawberry and Flaming Gorge.
Yes Jordanelle gets really busy in the summer, but most Kokanee fisherman start very early and could have their limit by 9:00 or 10:00 am. Before the big crowd hits.
