BowLurker Posted September 15, 2016 Author Posted September 15, 2016 Nice picture if I can ask where about was this taken no need to be specific just the general area? Thanks Lenny. It's not a secret place at all, actually. I took this photo (and many others) at the Meadow Creek spawning channel, north of Kaslo,BC. The BC government allowed a big hydro dam project during the 1960's in the area, and just about lost this particular run. Thankfully, a man-made spawning diversion channel was constructed that basically saved the fish. It's open to the public during fall runs, and if one is lucky enough to meet a biologist, it's a very interesting day. Bear spray is mandatory, and going off on one's own is not recommended!! http://fwcp.ca/open-house-at-meadow-creek-spawning-channel/ -M. Quote
SilverDoctor Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Lots of places in BC to see spawning salmon, We saw the start of the run of Kokanee when we visited Kelowna. Quote
