Kokanee have begun returning to thier natal waters in Lake Sammamish! This years return is expected to be lower than last years amazing return of more than 8,300 kokanee but higher than our recent lows. We're still early in the return but we are seeing a good start to the run with hundreads of fish observerd on Lewis Creek. Kokanee are begining to show up in Zackuse and Ebright Creeks. We expect the continued rain will help draw more fish into the streams. Wahoo!
The Three Rivers Chapter of TU will need volunteers for the 2025 kokanee fry trapping effort. Read here for more information. No experience necessary!

Help Trout Unlimited Save Lake Sammamish Kokanee From Extinction
Lake Sammamish kokanee salmon are on the verge of extinction, but Trout Unlimited (TU) and our partners in the Lake Sammamish watershed are committed to bringing the population back from the brink.
Due to heavy development in this urbanized watershed just 10 miles east of Seattle (in a county that is home to over 25% of the population of Washington State), native kokanee in Lake Sammamish have experienced a tremendous habitat squeeze and subsequent population decline in recent decades.
