Amazing.I can feel their energy just reading your comments. I only saw it on youtube! If only I could see them with my own two eyes in real nature 😌💕

I was in Northern Michigan in early October, and got to see the tail end of the salmon run-it was incredible! They were massive, and looked like a big dark mass from the shore. They kept breaching out of the water, and it was gorgeous to witness!

It's impressive that you even raised salmon eggs in the classroom! Now that salmon are in freshwater, wouldn't their offspring be in the local river too?

Salmon are really important here in British Columbia!! It's important to the culture and to the first nations people. Actually, when I was 10, we raised a bunch of salmon from eggs in my classroom. When they were big enough, we went to a river and released them. I wonder where mine went? My favourite salmon is the Chinook!

ah! There is such a salmon in Korea too. (masu salmon) I've only seen them in aquariums, it's so cool to have a park where you can actually see it in its natural state. Hope to see it when I visit Canada someday in the future!

Oh man, this has given me feels. I live in south eastern BC near Kootenay Lake, Kootenay lake holds Kokanee Salmon and every year we take the time to go watch the red fish in the spawning channels at a local provincial park. they are one of the few land locked species of Salmon. Your fish always make me happy. :)

I really love the freshwater Chinook salmon in #4. It looks so happy! Lol

Shawna

I envy living there! You will see many fish full of energy. I just realized steelhead is another name of rainbow trout!

I love salmon so much! They remind me of home!!

😍I live where several type of salmon come home to spawn! It is great watching so many come in and up the rivers here. We also have steelhead, but I find those ones scary with all of the long, needle teeth. 😵
