| Comments: | Sockeye Salmon spawns during the summer in small tributaries of lakes, where the young spend one to three years before migrating to the ocean. After living at sea for two to four years, maturing adults return to their home stream. This species has the greatest commercial value of all the Pacific salmons; few are caught by anglers in the ocean, however, because it rarely strikes lures or trolled bait. The landlocked populations are known as Kokanee. |
