Largest Salmon Spawn in the World ...

[GinaElite]

And I got to see it ladies and Gents! I was up in Shoswap for the weekend and I had the once in a life time opportunity to see the largest salmon spawning in the world and for hundreds of years. Estimated 50 million Salmon it was crazy. When they die they get this beautiful pink colour and there remarkable to see in the water thousands of them.

Just thought I would share that with you all

Note to self --- get after shave that smells like dead fish. Book session with Gina.

In my part of the world when that happens, it's time for the eagles to arrive. Another month and the big runs will come in, and with them thousands of eagles settle in for the Winter.

It was amazing of course I wouldn't want to be down there in a couple weeks when all the dead salmon wash up on shore lol but it was a once in a life time experience and I am glad I got to see it

And please no dead fish aftershave lol hehehe

True he's a bit of a drama queen, but since I'm a bit of an attention slut I'd lay odds he was taking a shot at me.

... please be respectful there is no need for rude remarks.

You might remember that when you are writing your pm's to me.

Besides, what makes you think I mean you are the dead fish....insecure much?

That would have been an amazing sight to see!!! As will be the eagles up in Brackendale feeding on the salmon......been meaning to go see the eagles for awhile now!

Alaska and Kamchatka in Russia have salmon runs that dwarf ours....the russian runs are a different salmon species than the sockeye that return here to the Fraser...I think they are chum...a lower quality salmon for consumption. The Bristol Bay runs in Alaska are so huge, what we are seeing in the Fraser this year, is a normal year for them.

If you look at the canned sockeye that is offered in local stores, it's often Alaskan salmon canned in Canada....look closely at the label...the tin will say "product of USA" while it will be a local BC company that has canned them. Now think of what 3 days in the hold of a packer will do to the quality of the salmon, before it gets canned. That's what makes the Fraser River runs so special....caught that morning, BBQ'd that night.....

picture of sushi

further to the sushi....one can tell from the washed out redness that is a picture of farmed Atlantic salmon...if you are a sushi lover...PLEASE INSIST ON WILD SALMON when you order....you will either get sockeye (deep red) or spring salmon...(not so red, but still nicer than Atlantic salmon).....

Did you get any pics of the event Gina? Sounds great.....

 

[Ride My Mustache]

It is great to see those salmon runs. Kids all over the world learn about them in science class, but we get to actually see it! I saw one in Alaska a few years ago when the grizzlies were already feeding on them. Even though the Grizzlies were in the other side of the river, that was exciting too!

 

[snif]

THAT , sperminator is Atlantic farmed salmon....you can tell be the colour which is more pale and orange and the zebra stripes of fat is a dead giveaway....

I love salmon nigiri-zushi!

I can eat a zillion pieces of them until my stomach bursts!

 

[sidara]

lmfao.............................. Boy's boy's
The salmon run sound's magnificent and amazing. Then again anything in B.C is magnificent.
Glad you had a great time....Now Im craving salmon.

In gold stream park they have a nature hut with tons of info on eagles and sometimes your lucky enough to spot one in the forest when your hiking ... Gold Stream Park is found on the island just outside of Victoria!

My spoilt French Bulldog,has me chasing him up streams of slippery rocks & logs.
Higgins goes crazy chasing pink salmon,which are to be left undisturbed.

Tonight;Higgins gets an unschedualed bath,to wash out the salmon carcass cologne.
Each day,Higgins & I watch jumpers at the Puntledge River fish hatchery tuber trail.
The salmon show ends with the first frost of November.

Truly priceless. Good for you to experience this rare phenomenon. Next one on your bucket list should be the Sardine Run on the Wild Coast. It's dubbed as the " Greatest Shoal on Earth ".
