Weaver Creek Salmon Run

Saturday's beautiful weather continued through today so Jake and Donna took us up to Weaver Creek, a Department of Fisheries place. At Weaver Creek they count salmon that come up the river. They have a booth that sits above the water. It was very neat to see these big fish, jumping up the rapids. Many of them were quite tired and a lot of them were dead, but there were also many that were still alive and kicking. The sign said that 841 Sockeye and 3 Chum had gone through the gates that day. Since the run has begun over 28,000 had gone through and of these, 19,000 had died.
