First Time Catching Kokanee Salmon!!! (Fly Fishing)

Kokanee Salmon, Which are the landlocked version of the sockeye salmon, were first introduced to Colorado back in 1951. They are found in approximately 26 lakes and reservoirs across the state. Unlike trout, Kokanee salmon spawn only once in their lifetimes, they make their migration after reaching maturity which takes approximately 3-5 years, where they migrate up the river, spawn, and then die shortly there after. They can even begin the decay as they're still alive leading to some frightening looking fish. Thanks to the vigilant efforts of the state of Colorado the Kokanee population is stable leading to some incredible fishing opportunities.
