A pair of adult Lost River suckers during the spring spawning season in Upper Klamath Lake. These endangered fish, many near 20 years old and over 2 feet in length, move into the shallow water near natural springs to spawn. Unfortunately, most of their offspring will not survive beyond their first year of life in the lake.
