6/8/2016 6:57:00 AMi have not seen one without an adipose. and, not sure if summit gets clipped ones. i heard they are clipping roosevelts. and, the clipped ones, were indeed, "triploids". would like to see more trips, in our local lakes. get some size to em'!

6/9/2016 8:15:00 AMwhat trout? i just said, i have "read" that they plant roosevelt, with both triploid rainbows, and clipped kokes there, are triploided as well. the kokes i got, at summit, are not clipped. i have not seen a clipped one, myself, anywhere. have never been to roosevelt. so, im confused by your statement. what trout? i have not posted any.

6/9/2016 11:52:00 AMSorry, I misread your post. I thought you meant trout in Summit Lake, I think the way to improve size on the kokes is to raise them to fingerlings rather then fry. Still limited by food, though. I've really never seen the blobs of plankton on my sonar thick in Summit the way I have in other koke producing lakes that have more fish that are larger as well. Bob R

6/9/2016 12:02:00 PMIt depends on the lake. Clipped in our area means they hold the kokanee for a bit longer and release in the fall. Unclipped for Summit means that they released them in the spring.
Whereas, American is just the opposite and most caught are clipped (released in fall)

6/10/2016 7:26:00 AMYes. Ad clipping fall plant koks is for size-at-release evaluation. And yes, Roosevelt gets triploid koks.

6/10/2016 8:28:00 AMi used to have a humming bird finder. back then, or was it just the lake then, you would see kokes inside a cloud of plankton. wondered if it was the unit, or the conditions? i have a garmin 500c now. its ok. but, i miss the hummer, as it showed the thermocline well. the garmin?-not at all. grrrrr.

6/10/2016 10:32:00 AMI was wrong, Doc, after reading the triploid info on roosevelt I now know that they are indeed raising triploid kokes for Roosevelt. I still think that lack of strong blooms of plankton in Summit Lake will limit size. Bob R
