Salmon Migration

Andy | Saturday, October 03, 2015 | Best Blogger Tips

The annual fall salmon run has begun. These guys and gals are in the Bowmanville Creek going upstream with one thing on their mind... sex

When they reach the dam this is where things get bogged down.

The fish ladder is new this year. Last year 10,000 salmon and trout were bucketed or netted to get them around the dam. The rainbow trout do their migration in the spring.

    The salmon run is a fascinating story in itself. I could spend hours watching them jump the ladder.

    That last shot is amazing, Andy!
    Another bad crash out your way on the 401 - be careful out there.

    Wow, look at them all, I've never seen that many before. I like the ladder idea, let them follow their instincts.

    Andy, you are so lucky to live in salmon country. They not only provide great photos, but I hear they are good eating as well. May to wild salmon migration remain healthy forever.

    Great shots. I've spent many an autumn and spring in that exact spot, trying to snap photos of the trout and salmon. Is the ladder only in place this year? I haven't been back there for over two years and they were working on it back then.. planning for the next spring.
