Kokanee Salmon

This is the Wiki page for the Kokanee Salmon found in Golden Ridge Reserve.

Description

The Kokanee Salmon is the non-anadromous form of the sockeye salmon. While size range of Kokanee is often lake-specific and depends on many factors, in typical populations the Kokanee grows to an average size of 9-12in (23-30cm) with an average weight of 1lb (0.5kg).

Kokanee are very sensitive to water temperatures, and cannot survive in non-optimal temperatures. Because their regular food is so small, the general understanding of angling for Kokanee is to irritate the fish enough so that it strikes your lure out of anger rather than as a predator.
