In the fall, the Kokanee Salmon spawn in the creeks that run through the town and outlying areas. These photos are of Coldstream Creek.
Forgive me for so many photos but it was awesome to see so I took lots of photos and tried to only post the best of them.

The photos are wonderfully descriptive for those of us who never get to observe this phenomenon. I'm so glad you posted lots! They are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI do not mind you posting several photos.They are just wonderful! I could imagine the cool water so refreshingly gathering around my legs and feet.And the salmons? They are soooooo cute!:)
ReplyDeleteGreat show must be to see those fishes fighting their way upstream :).
ReplyDeleteSince I have only watched salmon run on TV this is a treat! Never knew they would run in a small creek. How very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe third photo is a really beautiful shot!
Super photos, Carole, especially for those of us who've never seen anything like it! (There's a pub called 'The Salmon Leap' just a few miles outside Abergavenny but I didn't see any salmon in the river there at all!)
ReplyDeleteAmazing how they are all going up such a small stream.
ReplyDeleteNo need to apologize for the amount of photos. they are wonderful. Loved seeing them all. That must have been awesome to watch
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to watch this in ``real life``...this was the next best thing:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your wonderful capture!
I have watched the salmon spaw . It really is amazing. So are your photos. Each one. I love the one with the pink salmon.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think they go back to where they were born. Hundreds and hundreds of miles.
Great post! Where are the salmon coming from? Are they sea run? Loved the photographs. Thanks!
