Chinook Salmon

Also called King salmon, Chinook Salmon are the largest of the Pacific salmon. While adult Chinooks spend most of their time in deeper, open water, they will follow prey fish into near shore areas in early spring and late summer or early fall. Sexually mature Chinooks congregate or "stage" around the mouths of streams in the fall in preparation for making their spawning runs.

Coho Salmon

Cohos, or Silver salmon, are smaller in size than their cousin the Chinook. Although larger specimens over 30 pounds have been captured, a typical adult Coho weighs ten pounds.

Kokanee Salmon

Kokanee, also called Red salmon, are the landlocked form of Sockeye salmon. When confined to fresh water, as they are in California, Kokanee are the smallest of the Pacific salmon, rarely exceeding 15 inches in length or one pound. Despite their small size, kokanee are highly regarded sport fish because their orange-red flesh makes a tasty meal.
