The Division of Wildlife Resources is getting the word out of chances to see the normally silver kokanee salmon as they turn a brilliant shade of red. A viewing event will be held at Strawberry Reservoir on Saturday, September 21st from 9am to 3pm at the U.S. Forest Service Visitor Center. Of course there will also be viewing opportunities at Sheep Creek in Daggett County. Typically, the best place to view the spawning fish is from the Highway 44 bridge over Sheep Creek or the educational trail along the creek. If you see the DWR fish trap in the creek, please leave it alone. It is installed throughout the kokanee run and used to collect eggs and milt from some of the spawning fish.
