-Kokanee Salmon of the Blue Mesa Lake-

Kokanee are blue tinged with silver in color while in the Blue Mesa Lake. The salmon spawn are raised in the Roaring Judy Fish hatchery up river in the Gunnison river. They are released as fry in to the Gunnison river and eventually migrate in to the Blue Mesa Lake. The young fish, known as fry, spend up to three to four years in the freshwater lake before migrating back up the Gunnison river to spawn (August-October) at the hatchery where they were originally released. Some may stay in the lake and do not migrate. Blue Mesa salmon can range up to 4 to 5 pounds when they reach full maturity. They are great to catch and even better to eat if you manage to catch some.
