Signs of fall are in the air … cool, crisp temperatures and autumn color.
Leaves aren’t the only changing color. Landlocked salmon, Kokanee, are a blazing red as they start to spawn.
Oregon’s Trapper Creek, feeding Odell Lake. is one spawning site that attracts scores of Bald Eagles feasting on vunerable salmon.
Not too far north, as the eagle flies, is Wickiup Reservoir, which also has a population of Kokanee. We try to get to at least one of these two places every year just for the spawning event.
