In this episode, Zach and journalism intern Charlie Gearing focus on the glory of Oregon's kokanee salmon.

The landlocked sockeye salmon have become increasingly popular for anglers for a number of reasons — mainly that they're delicious and easier to catch.

Zach and Charlie talk with two expert kokanee anglers about the fish's backstory — how these salmon became landlocked — and how to best catch them in places like Green Peter Reservoir and Detroit Lake.

They also get into what the fish eat, how they naturally spawn — and turn bright red in the process — and how best to eat them.
