For the record this is a freshwater landlocked kokanee salmon. He is not spawned out yet and was caught at the inlet into the lake before he had a chance to move up the creek to spawn. Took the picture in a just couple second. Turned him upright and sent him on his way. As for eating or keeping, it's not a factor in Utah where I caught him. It's illegal to posses kokanee salmon from Sept. 10 to Nov. 30 in Utah. You can catch them, but all must be released. As kokanee go he is pretty good sized which run a lot smaller than their ocean going cousin the sockeye salmon. Give me hell if I am incorrect.. Isn't the correct terminology, "... is a landlocked sockeye salmon, which are known as kokanee." There's not really non-landlocked kokanee. And saying "kokanee salmon" is redundant. Some spawning of salmonids occurs outside of tributary streams, including in lakes and dare I say even the ocean. Don't know if that pertains to this population... Some die before spawning, some live longer afterwards than typical... Messy fish biology stuff. Smoked reds can be pretty darn good. Queing Geno.

358Norma_fan, I like the way you think. I've been to Alaska twice. The last time being last summer and both trip to Alaska were nothing short of epic. The first trip was to hunt bear with one of the regulars here at 24hour. The second trip was a halibut, rockfish, salmon trip. Alaska definitely gets deep into one's soul. Love your amazing state!!!

From the research I did kokanee are often what small sockeye are referred to as, or what the land locked version of the sockeye are referred to. You will almost never hear of a kokanee referred to as a sockeye in their land locked waters. In big game terms kinda like brown bear vs grizzly bear.

You will almost never hear of a kokanee referred to as a sockeye in their land locked waters. In big game terms kinda like brown bear vs grizzly bear. A small, medium or large non-landlocked sockeye is NOT a kokanee, ever. The phrase used, "a freshwater landlocked kokanee salmon" is like saying the fish is a salmon salmon. Redundant. That's all. No biggy. No further inference... A kokanee, even from a naturally isolated population is still genetically a sockeye. The Grizzly is most typically considered as a genetic subspecies of the brown bear. Surely some fisheads have intermixed the gametes of the two versions of the sockeye and achieved a sockeye. I can not imagine collecting sperm from a grizz or brown. I'll stay in the truck and watch. Geno?
