Salmon Of The Forest

View Of A Small Creek I Know In Western Washinton That is Still Full Of Salmon In Mid-Nov. This Year , Late Rains Made It Hard For Them To Reach THe Upper Areas Of The Creek. The Run Was Also A Bit Late This Year For These " Chum " Salmon. ( Actually, Chum Salmon Are Still Doing Well In Puget Sound Compared To Chinook And Salmon , But Runs Like Those Seen Today Will Become MOre Rare As Time Going By ) Many Creeks 30 Years Ago Were As Good As This, But Logging, Trophy Houses, And Pavement Have All But Killed Off Many Of The Other Creeks. Enjoy These Photos As Soon
