An oldie but a goody article

Here is an interesting 2007 article chronicling some of the milestones in Utah fishery management:

good read

Let's face it, fishing has changed and continues to change.
look at how fish finders keep getting better (so they can keep getting your money).

It's one of those challenges fishermen face today — decisions.

Let's face it, fishing has changed and continues to change.

2007 was the start of Kokanee at strawberry (thank you) it took me a long time to learn how to catch them.

In an effort to improve the kokanee fishing, the DWR stocked 600,000 fish two years ago. Normally, around 400,000 kokanee go into Strawberry each year. Those fish will be in the 2-year-old-plus category, which means they should be showing up in summer catches.

The first Kokanee we caught at the Berry was in the 90s.

When I was a kid, I looked forward to the fishing opener as much as I did Christmas. The crowds could be something else, however.

This phrase caught my eye though.

"The opening of fishing was the official welcoming of summer. The season ran from June 1 to Nov. 31. Opening day was a big event."

We always had to stop fishing on November 30th. [:/]

I don't remember that far back, plus I was working all the time so did not fish much back then.

that 2007 I found in the Deseret news here is another one in 2005

from this it looks like they planted kokanee just after. Strawberry Reservoir was treated 1990

The hatcheries now had two sources of fish to rear but as the rune are small, Strawberry Reservoir has received only a quarter of the fish requested. Fortunately, the kokanee planted into the reservoir in 1991 didn't wait the usual four years to mature. An estimated 1,900 started a run at Indian Creek in 1992, and a few found other smaller tributaries. An even greater number cruised the banks of the Soldier Creek area looking for a stream to spawn in. This placed the runs at Strawberry a couple years ahead of schedule. Eventually, Strawberry will replace Sheep Creek as the major source of kokanee eggs in Utah.
