Kokanee, a freshwater only form of sockeye salmon, were once very abundant in small streams throughout the Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish basin.  This talk will focus on the history of kokanee in local waters, causes for their decline, the current distribution of sockeye and kokanee in Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish, and steps underway to return kokanee to North Lake Washington.
