Mentioned earlier, nearby lakes and reservoirs provide opportunities for fishing from shore or by boat, with species such as trout, pike, and Kokanee Salmon available for anglers to pursue. Kokanee salmon are a unique species of salmon that are native to the Pacific Northwest and parts of western North America, including Colorado. They are known for their vibrant red coloration, particularly during the spawning season, and their landlocked habitat in freshwater lakes and reservoirs. One of the unique aspects of kokanee salmon is their life cycle. Unlike their ocean- dwelling relatives, kokanee salmon spend their entire lives in freshwater environments. They spawn in streams and rivers, typically in the late summer or early fall, before returning to deeper waters in lakes or reservoirs. This landlocked life cycle distinguishes kokanee salmon from other salmon species. Great fighters and excellent table fare, biologically speaking, Kokanee salmon are also a beautiful, evolutionary wonder.
