Mr. moderator did you even read the article? The article is specific to Deadwood Reservoir and not Idaho Kokanee in general. I'd take a mess of thirteen inch Kokes from deadwood any day. Quote from the article "Right now, the goal for the Deadwood kokanee fishery is bigger fish," said Kozfkay. As stated in an earlier post the reference to 13" fish comes from the Fisheries Management Plan 2013 - 2018. The Kokanee fishing on deadwood Res is usually very good, the fish are small, always have been, instead focus on trout next time you go to Deadwood. If you can figure out how to catch them I guarantee you will be very happy with the results.
