Kokanee day

[peterk123]

We drove to Helena today to try to get some kokanee salmon. We have a snagging season here for them. We got fifty today. Freezer has lots of filets! Great tasting fish.

I was thinking, "There can't be a Pacific outlet that gets as far as Montana." Land-lockers. Got it.

Back when I was a yowen - 1970 or so - my dad would snag saaaaammmin in the rivers of the greater Buffalo area. I once told that story to someone who had a horrified look on his face. "That's. . . . that's illegal!" "It wasn't in 1970."

Yes, landlocked. They get stocked pretty heavy in a few of the reservoirs. They will die like their spawning cousins, so the state prefers we snag them and eat them. We are happy to oblige

I’ve read that CT stocks a few ponds and tributaries with Kokanee. It’s on the bucket list.

I love eating fish. I have two zip locks of stocked Rainbows headed to the smoker this Sunday. I’m going to give smoked trout candy a try.
