Late every September, the land-locked kokanee salmon living in Lake Tahoe begin to feel the primal urge to mate. As their bodies change shape and color, they make their way upstream against the current and over small waterfalls to the place they themselves were spawned.
Seeing the droves of them in the thousands paddling in the shallow, clear water of Taylor Creek is a pungent reminder of one of those undeniable drives that pushes all of us – to mate.
