Kokanee Salmon
While Jackson Hole is famed for its trout fishing, nearby reservoirs offer a shot at landlocked sockeye salmon, also known as Kokanee. These feisty fish provide a fun alternative to the region's more famous species. Palisades Reservoir, located just east of Jackson, is a popular location to target them. Peak season for Kokanee in Palisades is typically mid-summer through early fall as they prepare to spawn. Trolling is the name of the game here, with small spoons and spinners being effective choices. A local tactic is to use downriggers to precisely target the depth where the Kokanee are schooling. Another valuable tip is to check local fishing reports for up-to-date information on Kokanee activity and depth. Palisades Reservoir offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, making for a memorable fishing experience. Be sure to check Wyoming fishing regulations before heading out, and be prepared for variable weather conditions, even in summer. The Kokanee in Palisades are known for their bright red color as they near spawning, making for some beautiful catches.
