All Kokanee stocked in Utah comes from the strawberry hatchery.
But the kokes in the pig the last 10 years have been mostly natural spawn. Last year was the first time in the last five that they actually stocked any koke. What they need is a regulation like yuba for the perch and a mandatory catch and keep your limit of kokes and raise the limit back up to 24 IMHO. Another thing that would help is plant some staril lakers to help thin them out.
The other problem up there is the lack of knowledge of koke tactics of the majority of the anglers. The pig gets fished alot but you don't see to many people up there actually catching them.
So those of you up there, do your part and share your knowledge of koke fishing to increase the success. And don't worry about the pig being over fished, is has the largest population of Kokanee per acre than any other Utah fishery.
