Coho Salmon to Be Introduced in Okoboji Lake
Iowa officials plan an experimental release of about 1100 coho salmon into Lake Okoboji in September sourced from Missouri surplus. The cold water fish will be kept at a Lansing hatchery until Okoboji’s temps and oxygen support its survival for a year round season. The experiment aims to gauge whether Okoboji’s stratified water can sustain the trout family fish.
