Still no kokanee at Ririe

[MMDon]

If you were to plant a suspect bacterially challenged fish from the latest year class, due to the shoaling nature of Kokanee, that bacterial disease would spread very rapidly through 70 to 80 percent of the Kokanee in the biomass. It's happened in years past and is really common in Kokanee. This essentially wipes out 3 years worth of Kokanee in any lake a bad plant is introduced. Perhaps more studies should be done on Kokanee while they are in the tanks and prior to planting to make sure they are disease free?
