Chinook Salmon

view map

After seeing a post of Salmon in the creek, I had to go check it out.

Met a person, who was monitoring the salmon, and took me down to the creek.

We found these two large Chinook Salmom swimming in the Los Gatos creek.

They apparently swim from the Pacific Ocean, to the South San Francisco bay, up Guadalupe Creek and turn right to the Los Gatos Creek.

Fortunately, there was enough water flowing in the creeks to reach this point for spawning.

Was hoping to see them jumping the ledge from the previous picture, but it was not happening.

a fine catch, and dynamic with its tail stirring up the water...interesting they are still running down there so late in the year..

Great capture, Bryan. Hope they spawn.

Nice capture, fantastic to see Chinook salmon still exist in Los Gatos Creek. The little falls would be a difficult barrier for salmon and steelhead.
