Do you mean Kokanee? I know that Oroville does have landlocked coho, but I got no idea how they're doing or even how to fish for them. Coho (or silver salmon) are not legal to catch in California. Oregon and Washington are a different story. Not sure about the landlocked ones in Oroville.

If y'all don't know (why would you?) Lake Oroville is a reservoir on the Feather River a little north east of Sacramento.

And welcome to the Stage ergo. When you catch one of those Coho salmon, post a photo and show these guys that don't know what they're talkin about.

Gonna have to adopt your past saying, Spirit. I have always regarded Kokanee as land-locked SOCKEYE, not Coho. We do have Chinook smolts added to the stocking in many Oregon lakes, but nobody thinks that they are Kokanee. Have not heard of Coho being placed in other than river systems.

And for "Florida"...... just where do think those Coho in Lake Ontario come from ? hehehe....Same place you got your Steelhead..... the PNW hatcheries that supplied those Great Lakes' state fisheries with transplants, of course.
Maybe you could figure out a refrigerated/aerated deep pond, there in Florida, and we can send you some !

No, you are correct - Kokanee are land locked sockeye. Oroville has those. AND Oroville has Coho, which is an entirely different critter. Silver salmon. Very very similar to the chinooks (kings). It's the only lake in California that has them.

A chinook (king), a silver (coho), and a Kokanee (sockeye), all of approximately the same size. Not that easy to tell them apart. Of the three, for my taste the kokanees are the best eating.

The Kokanee are my preferable table fare also, out of the three...🐟on

I wonder how long it will be before we won’t be able to call them, chinooks, coho’s or Kokanee being that those are the names that the native Americans ( Indians) gave them, hundreds of years ago 🤷‍♂️🐟on

Chinook have Black Mouth. Coho have white mouth. Sockeye or what some call reds can be in rivers or can be land locked and are Kokanee. Sockeye only eat plankton.

Doesn’t coho have a square tail ?

excuse me I need to fish now Loc: Puyallup, Washington (near Tacoma)

Yeah we have landlocked coho up in Washington; mostly in the large reservoirs. In my humble opinion they aren’t as good as Kokanee but better than trout.

Not too good, no one fishes for them
Try another species there. The closest lake to Oroville for COHO would be Bullards Bar
