We were fortunate to be back in Victoria when the salmon return to spawn in the Goldstream river. Although a small run this year, we found the rivers jumping with big Chum, Cohoe and Chinook fighting for spawning space in the fast flowing river. It's always amazing to see the determination of these fish to jump rapids to return to their own spawning grounds. Gulls, eagles, bears and other smaller predators gather at the rivers and it's a smorg for them all. About half way through the run, there are already dead salmon everywhere on the banks and in the river.
