Rainbows love the Koke gear from the damn up towards the wakeless zone on Rockcliff side. But I could not find the koke. ---

I to trolled jordanelle. 10 to 12 inch rainbows were very willing. We worked from the dam to the wakeless area in provo arm. We only saw fish in good numbers around the bouys. From 20 feet down to 50. Not sure what they were, no takers, thought I might snag some, but all were sleeping. Went looking for wipers but couldn’t stand the recreational boaters, got no class… [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/bigfishtackle/original/2X/a/a4284a81045f012668e54f0a401ddc12c34c7b48.jpeg)](https://ibb.co/68fRkKM) That picture didn’t work I’ll try another easy. Picture is of my Garmin screen. Garmin shows down rigger ball, and lots of ? Fish. * * * Did I see fishing fool at jordanelle this morning, boat of my dreams. ---

> [@brookie](#): > > Wondered where you were fishing. Did not see you on Strawberry yesterday or today. Strawberry is still slow - got 3 yesterday with my two neighbors, one of which turns 91 in a few days - oxygen concentrator and all. Of course we also brought in around 20 cutts to keep us from getting bored. Went out again this morning solo and got 3 more. They are still there but you have to work to get them to bite. Your suggestion of fluorescent dodgers and squid seems to work best. It is a little extra work to charge with the black light each time up, but I am convinced it makes a difference. > > I use a glo box for my glo lures and glo dodgers before the sun comes up nice and strong…after the sun is up nice and bright, just hold your lures/dodgers up facing the sun for about 10 to 15 seconds, and they’ll suck up way more glo than any glo box, glo lite, or charger.. ---

Cool video. Thanks for sharing! How’d those Koke’s fight in the cold water? ---

I’d have to look up the dates that they planted the Kokes but they only did it for 3 years and then stopped. So the ones you catch now might be from natural reproduction. ---

They were not huge - maybe 14-16 inches.  More of a drag in the cold water than a real tussle.

Here’s the stocking for Smith and Morehouse over the last 12 years. Must be some decent natural reproduction for the kokes because they haven’t been planted since 2018. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/bigfishtackle/original/3X/2/1/2114fd542bfd3b12b4a164bf8c6ad0855b5be89d.png)]([SM Stocking — Postimages](https://postimg.cc/7bFF8rf0)) ---

Plan was to hit Rockport again Saturday. Drove up but people in each of the spots I wanted to hit. So, kept driving up to Smith and Morehouse to check ice. No ice so I tied on a fly and bubble to see if I could get some grayling. Nope but lots of Rainbows were willing to play. Then I caught some kokes from the shore. Released them carefully. I did not know SandM had kokes but they do and they are doing well.i was not trying to catch the kokes they were hitting my rainbow set up. Very cold. Ice is not far off there but until then some great shore fishing possible Video link below. Quality is poor as I left my gopro home and only had a little car tripod for my phone. But a good shot of the second koke.
