The Salmon are Back!

We drove into town, on the tip that there might be salmon at the fish ladder. There were TONS, and they were enormous. Maybe 3 feet long? The ladder gates were closed, and the sign said that 1,000 salmon were trapped where the creek ran into the waterfall you see above, and 100 had been let into the fish ladders (a gate off to the right lets the fish into the ladders.)

Those fish were just anxious to move anywhere they could- we were glad for the grating over the fish ladders, some of the bigger, friskier ones tried to leap up and over the walls a few times. Ernie thought that was pretty funny!
