Hauling in the net

Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans engaging
in salmon sperm and egg collection, Stave River (near Mission).
This is done several times a week this time of year, with the
collection taken to the Inch Creek Hatchery nearby. On this day,
the varieties collected were primarily Coho and Chinook.

(I hope to put some of my photos of this remarkable process up soon)


other sizes: small medium original auto

This is a great photo. I am part of this crew though not in the photo, but I just wanted to mention that the 'onlookers' in the boat are actually also part of the crew, and are bringing the opposite end of the net to shore where the rest of the crew will pull the other end of the net to shore.

Beautiful light and exposure; very story telling.

I agree, an excellent photo.

This is excellent. Feels almost like an art print.

Terrific action shot, Cliff. The onlookers really add to the photo.
