chinook in lucky peak

Will chinook ever be planted in lucky peak? I caught one last week but would imagine it made its way down from anderson? Thanks.
Answer: 
I wouldn't rule-out fall Chinook being stocked in Lucky Peak Reservoir because it's a fish management tool we often use on other bodies of water to control Kokanee populations.  The difference with Lucky Peak Reservoir is there is very little natural Kokanee reproduction that occurs in tributaries to the reservoir, so we have tight control over the Lucky Peak Kokanee population. The fall Chinook fishery in Anderson Ranch Reservoir has become very popular over the past few years.  These are the same fish we use in Lake Coeur d'Alene to provide a fishery.  If public desire for this type of fishery grows, we may consider expanding stocking into other waters with Kokanee as a forage fish.
