Took my sister up to Jordanelle today to see if we could find some kokes. Might be my last trip before the hunts.
It took a while and a few rainbows to locate some kokes. Started about 7am caught a handful of planter sized rainbows but no Kokes in about an hour and a half. Wonder it the recently put some in. Have not caught any on other trips this year. Finally found some Kokanee we caught 7 let one very small one go lost a couple and had to keep a couple bows that were hooked to bad to release.
We ended up keeping the 6 Kokanee and 2 rainbows.
All the kokes and bows were caught on sling blade and pink squids from 25 feet to 35 feet deep.
Rainbows were caught shallower from 10 to 15 feet.
Checked temps in the water column
55 feet was were the colder than 53 degree water was. No fish showing up there.
Temps at 35 feet where the kokes were was still 62.3 degrees.
Surface temp was 71.5 degrees.

Nice report and pic, hard to tell but are the kokes starting to change color there?
Ours had just the slightest tinge of pink.

Thanks, doesn’t sound as bad as they are at Strawberry.
Good report and nice pics…I keep going to Strawberry, and then am kicking myself in the butt as I’m coming back past Jordanelle on the way home, again asking myself why I went to Strawberry instead of Jordanelle! … (going to Strawberry again on Friday…I’ll probably have an even bigger black and blue spot on my rear)…

Were you catching in the main body of the water, or in one of the arms??
We fished Rockcliff arm this morning. I couldn’t see to find the Kokes. Rainbows
Seem to be enjoying my typical Koke rigs…
