Three species day at Jordanelle

[TubeDude]

Thanks for the report. I'm not sure where the Kokanee went? The sure seem to have lockjaw lately.

I think it all has to do with the numbers they are stocking:
Here are the numbers they stocked between 2019 and 2021.
2019--206,850
2020--132,000
2021--1,200,400

Those stocked 2020 are the ones we are catching this year and as you can see, they did not stock a lot that year.but it looks like next year should really be good. Makes you wonder why there is such a huge difference in stocking numbers for those three years.

Since Jordanelle is a "koke come lately" water...and not yet a "proven" koke fishery...it probably has to settle for whatever is available after DWR meets established commitments to other more established waters.  2020 may have been a year with poor production or heavier commitments elsewhere.  But their increased plantings in 2021...in a year with good fishing returns and heavy angler interest...seems to indicate that there will be more in the future.
