Sockeye are plankton feeders. They can be caught on a small hook baited with a piece of worm, a maggot, or a small, flashy metal spoon. The landlocked kokanee can be taken by fly fishing at times when they are feeding on insects at the surface. The following are fishing methods used to catch this fish:
The body of breeding males is bright red with small black speckling (spots not large or distinct) on the back. The totally red body will distinguish the sockeye from the otherwise similar chum salmon, O. keta, and the lack of large distinct spots will distinguish it from the other three Pacific salmons.
