Rimrock is full of kokanee, though the average fish is likely to be only 8 or 9 inches. I grew up on that fishery and it seemed to peak every 4 or 5 years depending upon weather conditions. In dry years, the lake is drained (or nearly so) for irrigation and untold thousands of kokes are...

7:00 a.m. Slow to start, abrief flurry of action around 7:45. The best time for me was later, between 9:00 - 10:00. It's been like that on my last few trips, with late morning being as good or better than early.

Finally seem to be getting dialed in on this lake after many attempts. I went 5 for 7 this morning, all 13-14 inches, but man, are they deep! All strikes were at 80 feet on the rigger with green/chrome Slingblade or Sep's dodger with homemade spinners.
