We need to get a chapter of KOKANEE POWER for utah and wyoming. Anyone want to spear head it? I would be glad to help out where i can. It can only be a good thing to have our own chapter
 
I would be more then happy to help out in any way that I can. I know of all the good that kokanee power does for Cali and Oregon. Since both the Utah DWR and the Wyo g&f are putting monies into their koke programs,we don't fall under the same blanket of problems that Cali has. As with any thing this could change in the future,and maybe having a local chapter of kokanee power would help to stop this from happening. I have read that the President of kokanee power(Gary Coe) is having some health issues,and has had to step down until his health get better.
 
I have contacted Al Millan and Kevin Smith they are going to call me this week with the info on starting a chapter here in Utah I liked what AL had to say about it ( Starting a chapter is easy. Managing and making it work is the hard part.) I will let everyone know what they have to say
 
Right on reaper, thanx for the front work. Let me know if you need help.
Kokanee power will do great things for Ut/Wyo waters. Can't wait to see what happens.
 
I am a member of KPower in Calif. It is a great group of guys that love to fish for Kokes and more importantly make sure there is a future for these fish. There are other Kokanee groups but, in my opinion, this is the best group. Not political and dedicated to the preservation of Kokanee. Here is a link to their web site:http://www.kokaneepower.org/
 
Hey Jimj, thanks and welcome to our little piece of the kokanee world. It's good to hear from a member of KP ,and get a inside perspective. Any words of wisdom or encouragement ,about starting a chapter of KP here would be appreciated.

Kokanee Power

You can email me directly @ [email protected]
Thanks, Jason Livingston

kr77 ONCE WE GET THE BALL ROLLING ON kp I'LL CREATE A NEW FORUM HERE ON KOKANEEFISHINGFORUM FOR KP BUSSINESSthumbsup
 
I finally got a chance to speak with Al Millan who gave me a ton of advice on where to start with establishing a KP here in Utah/Wyoming. He is very excited about having a chapter here. The first goal is to contact the DWR and see if they are willing to work with us and except our help through the KP organization that will be the deciding factor for us. If fish and game do not want us involved then we will be limited to what we can do. I will try to contact them tomorrow and see where we stand. After speaking with Al I am definitely convinced Kokanee Power is the right choice here in Utah and Wyoming. I am going to need some individuals to step up when this gets moving. We have a great chance to make some changes and insure a better fishery here if we take this opportunity and make the most of it

I spoke with the Wyoming Chief of Fisheries Mike Stone and the regional supervisor over Flaming gorge and Fontenelle Rob Kieth they both said they would support a Kokanee Power involvement especially for Flaming Gorge the demands they try to meet each year on Kokanee are huge. Just to let you know The burbot issue was the main topic from both I spoke with Rob for quiet awhile on what we could do to help out as a group and His biggest point is to catch as many burbot as possible there currently is no limit on burbot at the gorge. Keep in mined you can not waste them but please do not let any go I suggested possibly holding a tournament for burbot and he agreed that would be a excellent way to help out. So one state down one more to go

That sounds great I would think that Utah would love to have it here , but you never know. Actually I was thinking the same thing the other day as i mentioned the burbot problem to you. I was thinking we could get a huge gathering of people to focus on and fish for burbot. We could get stuff donated to us and have a raffle and a bbq, and boil some burbot and eat them and have a great time. I have a place in Manila, that could sleep probably 8 people. Like I said I am willing to help in an any way I can.
 
Right on Curly thats the kind of attitude that we will need I am going to be meeting with the folks from wyoming fish and game this fall and would like some other people there with me. We can go over a game plan on a fishing tournament with them and see how we can help the fish and game at the same time make it a win win situation.
