About Kokanee Salmon
Kokanee salmon are landlocked sockeye salmon, which means they don’t return to the ocean and live their entire lives in lakes or reservoirs before spawning in rivers, streams, or gravel close to lakeshores. These salmon are delicious and are really strong fighters, making them a prime target for anglers, and the popularity of this fish is growing. Kokanee are a schooling fish that feed on zooplankton in the water. They tend to find where these plankton are at and then they congregate and feed all in that one area. These plankton, and the kokanee that feed on them, like to hang in water that is around 50-55 degrees, so these salmon are usually only able to survive in deep alpine lakes and reservoirs, and can be found from depths of 10 feet, all the way down to over 100 feet deep.
Why Hats are Important When Kokanee Fishing
Kokanee fishing can be a lot of fun, but it often takes you to high alpine lakes that can leave you exposed to the elements. And if you’re going to be out on the water all day in the hot sun, it’s important to wear a hat.
The reason for this is simple: Sun protection.
Did you know that UV rays from the sun can damage your skin? That’s why it’s so important to wear sunscreen when you’re outside. But what about your head? You have less skin on your head than on your body, but it still absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight and can burn just as easily as any other part of your body.
A good fishing hat will protect you from both UVA and UVB rays. It also provides an extra layer of warmth when temperatures drop, keeping your head warm on cool days and nights out on the lake or ocean. Take a look at some of the options available today and find one that best fits your needs — whether it’s just looking good while fishing or keeping yourself safe while under water!
A hat is an essential piece of gear for any fisherman who wants to spend their time out on the water. A good hat will protect your head from the sun, keep you cool in hot weather and keep your head warm when it gets cold outside.
