Cave Rock in May and June (Frantz, 1969), but tliis fisliery was in- significant in relation to the other two. Also, a fishery of unknown magnitude occurred in October and November on kokanee spawning along the west shore between Sugar Pine Point and Sumiyside. In 1968, as in previous years, a downward movement of kokanee was observed as mid-summer approached. In May and June all of the kokanee were caught near the surface, but in July most were caught at depths of 50 to 75 feet; and in August at about 100 ft. "While at the surface, kokanee were caught with conventional topline gear, but later in the summer fishermen needed metal line to fish at the depths at which the kokanee occurred. Under both conditions the fishery was prosecuted entirely by trolling from boats. From late June through September 1968, we conducted 22 creel sur- veys and/or use counts in the J\Ieeks Bay and Taylor Ci-eek areas. We estimated that 1,024 kokanee were caught from mid-July through Sep- tember (95% = ±1,386). This estimate is believed conservative as a disproportionately large number of days with bad weather were sampled. The small fishery on the Nevada side, and the Meeks Bay- Sugar Pine Point fishery in early June, were not sampled
