Salmon photos by R. Snyder – Group by W. Snyder
Salmon and lots of them – on our October 22nd bird walk, our group of seven, was thrilled to see the main stem of Stoney Creek alive with returning salmon. Close to 1,000 spawners were counted in the first two weeks of the count which began on October 11th. By December 1st, 2016 – 2,405 chum and 113 coho had been recorded! Not bad for a stream that saw a 50 year absence of any salmon in its water. To get involved in protecting this vital salmon habitat email info@scec.ca. Together we can make a difference.
