Taylor Creek in the fall is the site of the annual run of Kokanee
Salmon. The Kokanee is an inland Salmon, about the size of a large
trout. This species was introduced to Lake Tahoe in the middle of the
1900s.

Numerous animals come to Taylor Creek to feast on the salmon,
including Black Bear and Bald Eagles. Also found on Taylor Creek and
eating smaller fish is the Common Merganser:

One fishing technique the mergansers use is to cruise the surface of
the creek with the head submerged, searching for prey. Once a fish or
invertebrate is found the duck dives and pursues at high speed.
