Your idea about kokes is interesting. Are there any natural spawning kokes in western MT now? Only have caught a few in Newlan myself.
My most experienced fisher-friends have all mentioned fishing various boat ramps in the spring, as that's the easiest place to off-load a planting. According to them the fish return during the spawn.
Makes sense. Seems like it would be even cheaper if you could find a solution involving eggs...wouldn't require feeding them/housing them even to the smolt stage. But you're right...simply dumping the smaller fish in should work.

Kokanee salmon for example would benefit from being stocked in rivers upstream of lakes where they could naturally spawn.
Notes taken. Never thought of that. Thanks!
