LOL, good to see you finally took the plunge and signed up. BFT and the kokanee forum use to be sister sites but the kokanee forum was sold and they are our competition now. Yea, BFT is the top of the heap in Utah, as far a fishing forums are concerned, mainly because it covers all fish not just one, plus it has been around longer.
I was thinking how could this dude enjoy fishing if he is paddling steady all day, using the wind to push you helps a ton I bet. I'm guessing you have a fish finder on your toon? If so, have you ever tried vertical jigging for kokes?
Most of use use Gulp alive maggots for trout and kokes, I've also heard of folks using salmon eggs. The only evidence I have that kokes are lower in number is this year, is time on the water and years of experience fishing that lake, not only by myself but others. Maybe the hatch was poor 3 or 4 years ago, maybe its the continued low water conditions during the spawn but for what ever the reason, this year had been poor.
Devils Creek reservoir is pretty much a put and take fishery, the last I heard, if there are any kokes left in the lake, its not many, unless they restocked it. Not sure about the canal companies shutting it down. Be your own judge on the Pig, go up there again and see how it fishes.
