Also in from Al (and Cheri) Latham. For those of you not aware of Jimmycomelately creek, it is in Blyn near the Tribal Center for the Jamestown S’Klallam. The Tribe has done a great job of restoring the run at the creek, and maintains a fish trap to count the returning salmon each fall.
Dear Jimmycomelately Creek friends:
It does not look like we will be setting any records at for summer chum returns at Jimmycomelately Creek this year but this is a strong run. The daily counts have been fluctuating between 40 and 100 per day with no real change in stream flow – which remains very low. The count now stands at 2,342 with three or so weeks to go. Next week I will be able to tell you just how far upstream some of them went. We’ve had quite a few visitors this season and there is still time for more!
