So, this is what I was told by DNR biologist yesterday.
The lake has been more productive than usual for the food that Kokanee need. They are fat and sassy and are not as hungry as usual and therefore are not as aggressive as usual. Yes, I asked the question, but they strike out of aggression, not hunger. He responded by saying that when they have an abundance of food, they are not as aggressive to chase off intruders in there food zone. Makes sense to me.
The fish are there, they just are not hungry and aggressive.
For what it is worth.
