I should have mentioned above that we equate food availability to the energy a fish spends eating it.
There is one more massive equation with Kokanee. Will it warm up enough to produce plankton en mass early enough in the spring run off period and will it stay cool enough of a long enough period so the Kokanee, which are temperature sensitive, can stay up high enough in the water column to garner enough food for accelerated growth. Even on a good run off year, if the weather becomes to warm to quickly and drives the fish down below the quality light penetration surface distance of 10', the fish will still be small.
All this being said, who doesn't like higher limits. I've never found a shortage of Kokes on either fishery!![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif)
