Every fall, Taylor Creek turns into one of Tahoe’s most powerful and beautiful wildlife events: the Kokanee salmon run. In this episode, Captain Cary takes his daughters out after a morning rain to witness thousands of bright red salmon push upstream to create the next generation — and to face their final hours.

It’s a stunning scene on the surface… but there’s a deeper story underneath.
Kokanee salmon live only about a year, and when they enter the creek, their bodies begin an irreversible shutdown. They stop eating. Their organs fail. Their energy pours entirely into this one final act of life.

We explore the beauty, science, and raw honesty of this extraordinary moment.

It’s one of the most striking contrasts in nature: vibrant color and complete exhaustion, life beginning as another life ends, beauty and grief in the same breath.

If you’ve never seen the Kokanee run, this will make you want to.
If you have, you’ll never look at it the same way again.
