Historic storm helps kokanee salmon spawn in Taylor Creek
The record-breaking storm in late October has helped salmon spawn in Taylor Creek, an event that was threatened due to severe drought conditions. People flock to Taylor Creek each October to watch kokanee salmon fight their way upstream. Several people on Tuesday were taking in the sites of the red-colored fish from a bridge on California State Route 89. According to Forest Service Aquatic Biologist Sarah Muskopf, kokanee typically spawn anytime between September and February when there are increased stream flows and cooler temperatures.
