I was transferring soils and black earth, Wollastonite to the garden to make a new planting bed.
I was using the skid steer until I saw 2 round balls.
So an unplanned transplanting of the nest of turtle eggs.
So they're protected between the sweet potatoes and the Delia planting.

Never heard of kokanee, they look tasty!

Shuswap Lake is known for its kokanee salmon, a type of landlocked sockeye salmon, which are popular among anglers. These fish can be trolled for, especially during the late spring when plankton blooms are more common, according to the Salmon Arm Observer and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Kokanee Fishing Tips:
Use a fish finder: Kokanee travel in schools, so a fish finder can help locate them, according to the Salmon Arm Observer.
Use small lures: Try small, pink or red spoons, or wedding ring lures.
Trolling is effective: Downriggers are helpful as kokanee are often found at certain depths.
Consider the time of year: Late spring, when plankton blooms are more common, is a good time to target kokanee.
Other Important Information:
Shuswap Lake is a large lake with many communities and recreational opportunities, including house boating.
It's home to various fish species, including kokanee, rainbow trout, lake trout, and dolly varden.
The lake is not stocked, but has healthy populations of several fish species.

Hopefully in a couple of months they'll be heading to the water.
We see them quite often on the gravel shoulders laying eggs.

My older brother lives in Oregon City. We meet in Spokane and then travel to Idaho to fish for Cutthroat trout at Kelly Creek. He is an avid fly fisherman. I use a breakdown Shakespeare spinning rod with 6# test. It's rare that he catches more fish than me. Rooster tail spinners. Kokannee Salmon too.

We have Steelhead, Salmon and of course ocean fish.... Ling cod, snapper, halibut, tuna, but it is a long way for me to go to get Kokanee!!
