Koke at 97 ft Oct 10 at F Gorge

[Ryno]

I actually looked that up and in a 2-year research effort looking at in-reservoir spawning kokanee and their spawning preferences in Flaming Gorge, the deepest they ever recorded was 54ft. It may have just been a kokanee on the way to a spawning area though. In that case it's still very deep, but some of the biggest kokes I've caught in late summer were actually from 80ft while targeting lake trout. There's good oxygen down at that depth, especially on this lower end of the reservoir. It's definitely an odd catch, but kokanee never cease to amaze me.
