Each autumn, from late September through mid-October, one of biology's
clocks sounds an irresistible alarm. Mature kokanee salmon,
transformed from a silver-blue color to a fiery vermilion, twist their
narrowing way upstream from Lake Tahoe to spawn in the gravels of
Taylor Creek, near South Lake Tahoe. The sight of the blazing salmon
draws many spectators, who can observe the fish at close range in
several places. The kokanee's commitment to its nature is compelling.
People tend to stop for a brief look, then become transfixed.
Kokanee Salmon Festival held October 2-3, 2010 by the US Forest
Service just down the street or walking path at the Stream Profile
Chamber. Discover the beauty and history of the Kokanee Salmon
spawning run.
