The Forum Has Moved!

4:03-4:08 p.m.:

8:46-8:48 a.m.: The wind and runoff from this series of storms hitting B.C. this weekend are kicking up a lot of turbulence in the river, making the water quite murky.

8:31 a.m.: Water is still quite murky and turbulent from the storms.

5:46-5:47 p.m.: The water is still murky, but clearer than it was at the height of the storms.

Unfortunately our cam has slipped down lower this year and is now sitting on the bottom of the channel so many of the fish swimming by are not being seen by the camera. The next time that Ken goes out there to clean it he will take his hip waders and go out and move the cam up higher.

In the meantime, this is what you are missing. This fish are swimming up the channel from the river to go back to the hatchery where their lives began several years ago. Our cam sits in the channel on this side of the bridge that you see in this picture.




This pic shows the salmon now having swum under the bridge and heading right into the hatchery.

As always all of my pics are clickable twice to view them full screen size.

Here the salmon are now leaping up into one of the holding tanks.

Thanks for those wonderful photos, Karen!

5:27-5:32 p.m.: Even with the camera out of position, it's amazing what we can see!

Hi Sue I've been checking your posts everyday - great shots! It IS murky! Have you noticed the salmon occasionally taking a run at each other? Big jaws and sharp teeth - and fearsome looking. Thanks for keeping us up to date - some of the relatively new posters may not have realized that the Harrison and Chehalis are connected.

And thanks, Karen, for your post and photos - I wondered why we were seeing fewer salmon this year than last, but glad to know it's the camera angle and not a scarcity of fish.
