    I was snorkeling at Beals Point on Folsom Lake about 40 years ago.

    On the dam side of Beals I saw what I think was a school of Kokanee about 40 feet below me.

    If you want to know more about the Kokanee in California or Oregon I would contract:

    It looks like Kings are still planted in Folsom annually (but Kokanees stopped after 2010). Do they go up the rivers to spawn? Maybe that's what I heard about(?)

    I sometimes wonder why they don't stock the landlocked kings as fingerlings in the rivers above the reservoirs as opposed to catchables in the reservoirs, to add a more natural life cycle and dead salmon nutrition component back into the rivers. Is it as simple as 'that doesn't work'? It's not like they would co mingle with the below-dam stocks.

    PS sorry to go off topic on the kokanee. I troll fish for kokes all the time and sometimes fly fish the LT for them, but they are pretty zombied out by then. No experience with the American.
