Kokanee Salmon Run
It is time for the annual Kokanee salmon run In Lake Tahoe.
Thousands of kokanee salmon are swimming up Taylor Creek off the lake's south shore as part of their annual spawning ritual. U.S. Forest Service officials said while the run doesn't typically peak until mid-October, it's off to a good start. They said as many as 50,000 of the fish may make the journey upstream this year. Landlocked cousins of the seagoing sockeye salmon, the kokanee were introduced to Lake Tahoe in 1944 by biologists, said Forest Service spokesman Rex Norman. SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif.—One of Lake Tahoe's most popular nature shows of the year is off to a promising start.
