Salmon at Nimbus Fish Hatchery

Stopped by the Nimbus Fish Hatchery to check out the salmon run. A worker told me they’ve had some really big salmon come through the processing center.  Didn’t find anybody who knew if this years run was above, below, or average.  I took one picture of two salmon below the Nimbus Dam and the rest were in the salmon ladder or being processed.

Thanks for the info and pictures Jacks.

 

Ive been doing  a weekly bike ride along the river trail, salmon run has been fun to watch, plenty bedding downstream of the dam too

Thanks for the report. I need to stop by there and check it out.

Pretty good video from Alan Fong Outdoors on the hatchery and processing of fish for the hatchery.  Some HUGE fish in there!

ooooh watching them get "the chair" made me wince a little

If your in the area it’s an affordable place to take the family as there’s no cost to visit.

Cool! Thanks for sharing.
