Kim Kovacs sent some beautiful color updates from South Lake Tahoe and also tipped us off that the salmon should be running in Taylor Creek next week once water is released from Fallen Leaf Lake.
Every year, in autumn, Kokanee Salmon make their way up Taylor Creek from Lake Tahoe to spawn. This spectacle alone is well worth a visit.
For now, Kovacs walked the path from Tallac Historic Site to Taylor Creek and enjoyed beautiful blue skies, azure lake and stunning aspens.
South Lake Tahoe – Patchy (10-50%)
to bad it’s not true… department of wildlife fish and game ABSOLUTELY want the Kokanee salmon GONE. waterflow on Taylor creek shouldn’t be choked off. it’s killing the eggs and turning out extremely low repopulation numbers. this is because of the reintroduction of the native cutthroat trout
Thank you for the update. Is there a place where we can read more about this?
