So this year was a record for the number of salmon that came back to spawn in the interior of BC. Every 4 years, the salmon return to spawn where they themselves hatched. It was a wonder to see, just amazing the amount of fish that were jumping and swimming along.
And then the amount of dead that had done what they had set out to do, and were now lining the shore for many miles.
I could not pass up a picture of this monster! He was quite a bit larger than the other fish, and those teeth!!! Yikes!
We went with some friends and spent the morning just hiking and checking out all the thousands of fish still trying to lay their eggs. It was a beautiful thing to see, and like nothing we have in the prairies! We were blessed to be living here at the time and to be so close to all the action!
Here are a few more shots from that day:
