Observations
Species Date Observed Activity
pink salmon 08/30/2025 Spawning Present

Comments: Landed at lower reach in helicopter. Over 20 pink salmon were observed in the water. Redds and spawning behavior were observed. Lots of sign of bear and fresh pink carcasses were also observed on shore. Landed the helicopter near the upper reach and bushwhacked down to the creek. More pink salmon and spawning was observed here. Due to high winds we couldn't make it farther upstream, but salmon are most likely spawning further upstream from here.
