Small numbers of kokanee making their way up Taylor Creek
Submitted by paula on Sun, 10/18/2015 - 7:49pm
The annual salmon run up South Lake Tahoe's Taylor Creek has seen far fewer numbers of kokanee than in years past, and not only have the crowds noticed, but so have the bears.
Speculation for the cause is the warmer water at the mouth of Taylor Creek.
"The spawn relies heavily on the presence of high water flow, which under normal conditions would be due to precipitation that comes with colder temperatures," said Lisa Heron, Public Affairs Specialist with the U.S. Forest Service.
With the drought of the last four years, its hard to know what "normal" is anymore.

Drought to affect the changing of season in South Lake Tahoe
Submitted by paula on Tue, 09/08/2015 - 9:32pm
Thousands flock to the Sierra Nevada every fall to watch the color changes of the aspen trees along with the annual upstream migration of the Kokanee Salmon in Taylor Creek to lay their eggs and complete their life cycle.
The bright yellows, oranges and reds of the aspen are emblematic of fall in Lake Tahoe, but this year that will not happen in the typical fashion that people have become accustomed to.
In a stroll through many of the aspen groves on the South Shore it looks like fall has already happened with dried leaves leaving the branches and making their way to the forest floor.
