Return of the Kokanee


Well, I was right when I said we went a week too early. Yesterday we went back up to the East Fork of the Little Bear River and the Kokanee were fully red and running. It was Teisha's first excursion since her equestrian accident and she did great; the hills were steep but she navigated them expertly (Teisha is a great photographer whose shots have shown up in this blog several times - look in the archives to see some of her work). I'll try to get back up there before my birthday for some better pictures, since the light was fading by the time we got there yesterday. As expected and hoped, Bree loved the "fishies."

Cool fish, can you catch them? I mean is it legal?

Fishing for Kokanee is fine for most of the year (check restrictions in the Fishing Proclamation) but not during the run (Aug 15 - Sept 29) at Porcupine. Strawberry closes from Sept 1 - "6am on the second Saturday of October" for the same reason. Thanks for the comment, Tristan & Nicole. Tight-lines, Cache-on, Study-hard and Rappel-away.

Tis indeed, a fun time to go see them. I am rather fond....
