Always mesmerising...we watch the fish at the hatchery negotiating the deadfalls and the fish ladder, then wait impatiently at the gate below their birth pond for their chance. Though it's more a case of a dip net and a knife, sorry to say in this chain of life.

.... up the Kispiox valley (north from Hazelton, BC) that I visited; it was full of sockeye. But I also found Kitwancool Creek (I think the Native Americans there changed their name from Kitwancool to Gitanyow) that was full of smaller spawning Coho salmon. Then I found some wild sockeye spawning in a stream near Cranberry (Strawberry?) Junction further north in the Nass River watershed. Oh... and the huge chum salmon (near 100 lbs) spawning up in the Alaskan panhandle just north of Stewart, BC.

You're right it's mesmerizing watching them. Got some great pics of the Sockeye spawning in the Nass watershed. Made me feel like Jacques Cousteau. I think his show on the life-cycle of the salmon came out just a few years before 86... or maybe a decade?
