I have to agree with widebear, "Fishing for Kok's on Roosevelt is hot right now." Started at about 7:20 and had my limit of "native" Kokanee in less than an hour! Both fish had adipose fins making the limit two. My question is where are these quality fish coming from and what happened to the hatchery Kokes? My Kokanee were only 15 inches but very hefty! Great eating too. On the way to the lake, two fawns crossed the highway and on the return trip a bald eagle flew over my vehicle. Comments appreciated! Keep a tight line!

I can't recall the numbers and may be sketchy on the specifics, but there were a bunch of kokanee from ID hatchery released in Roosevelt sometime this spring. None of them were fin clipped, so even though not "native" they are subject to the same rule as truly native kokanee. In your picture, the kokanee on the right looks to be fin clipped. Nice pair nonetheless! :-)

Thanks for the report. I believe most of the un-clipped kok's are actually fish that are flushed down from Coeur D'Alene Idaho. I am hoping to get out and fish for some this weekend.
