No, not that kind of fish fry, as delicious as that sounds.

On April 1, King County launched a live camera feed of baby kokanee salmon — also known as fry — being raised in the Issaquah State Salmon Hatchery.

The fry are the spawn of kokanee taken from Ebright Creek in December and they will be kept in an environment of safety and plenty at the hatchery for the next several weeks before being returned to the creek, according to information on the Kokanee Kam web page.

Lake Sammamish’s kokanee are one of only two populations native to the Puget Sound basin and they will spend their entire lives in the lake and its tributaries.

You can watch the kokanee on the County’s page (which has a bounty of interesting information on the fish) or embedded above.

We have to admit, we at the Reporter were skeptical of the entertainment value of the Kokanee Kam. But there is something hypnotic about watching these hundreds of little guys going about their fishy business.

And if that gets boring, you can always pretend you’re watching a soap opera full of intrigue, competition and ichthyological sibling rivalry.
