WASATCH COUNTY, Utah — The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources launched its annual kokanee salmon underwater livestream camera yesterday.

This camera allows viewers from anywhere in the world to watch these vibrant red fish in realtime as they spawn in the Strawberry River, near the fish trap entrance.

The DWR will also host two kokanee salmon viewing events later this month for those wishing to see these colorful fish in person.
