Harvesting Salmon. Personnel from Colorado Parks and Wildlife spent much of Veterans Day morning harvesting kokanee salmon at Barker Reservoir in Nederland. The process involved shocking the fish, netting them, sorting by sex, and transferring them into tubs. Egg fertilization was done on site, at tables under a shelter erected at the Barker weir. Also present was a fish biologist who checked for diseases in the netted kokanee. Once the eggs hatch, kokanee fingerlings will be stocked in Colorado lakes. Story and photos by BG Brooks.
