Kokanee and the angler


"Salmon in landlocked lakes grow at about the same rate as trout. They may reach a weight of more than five pounds, but most do not exceed two pounds before reaching sexual maturity and dying. This occurs two to three years after stocking. While rainbow trout do not die after attaining sexual maturity, four years is the maximum age attained by most stocked trout. A few live longer and anglers occasionally report catching trout of 10 pounds or larger from managed lakes. The maximum size attained by either a trout or salmon varies from lake to lake and is dependent on the productivity of a given body of water. Periodic test netting by management personnel is a tool used to monitor fish populations in these stocked lakes. "

Wow, you are really getting into this fishing biology! I cannot even find anythign in this blog to argue about - sounds factual to me but you have become very astute in the spreading of bovine excrement - with this knowledge that you are gaining, perhaps you should consider broadcasting the Stocked Lake Fishing Report for the Anchorage Bowl area, I am sure several radio stations would broadcast it for you and I would be willing to give you a letter of recomendation. VRHBV to you to!

If you feel the incessant urge,
and your tongue is sharp and quick,
leave a worthless thought for me
whether cool, or fun, or sick.
