Just in from Al Latham. While not as big as some years, it seems statistically pretty normal
Salmon Creek chums are up to 1,667 and 262 Snow Creek chum have been passed upstream of the WDFW station. It’s important to note that the Snow Creek graph doesn’t include all of the fish that spawn in the ¾ mile downstream between the trap and the bay.
Snow Creek chum are negotiating the new channel in the estuary just fine and there are some redds in that lowest stretch.
The upper reaches of Salmon Creek chum territory are quieter than last year but the fish are still coming in at 60 -130 per day.
Here is a male that came through on Tuesday – my friend Renee Karlovich took the photo.
