Kokanee

That's it.

Well, what about giving out several fish to people who already know how to catch their own? Every year around this time, kokanee salmon start swimming up Colorado streams to spawn.

They aren't native here, and they naturally die shortly after spawning, so Colorado Parks and Wildlife harvests them and gives them away to limit waste.

To qualify to get these fish, you must have either a 2026 Colorado fishing license or a tribal ID proving your membership to the Southern Ute or Ute Mountain Ute Tribe.

We

know Kokanee and the panther personally.

Is that true?

Check the gun.
