Today in ~> the Creek ... Coho Waiting for Rain
reblogged from QuestX
The water levels have definitely dropped since Sunday.
The water in the main creek is no longer high enough to allow for fish passage over barriers and the water levels in the smaller creek have dropped enough that the fish are effectively trapped in short reaches, are restricted to moving downstream, or are at/ near the confluence of the tributary and main stem of the creek.
^Video of Coho moving downstream today, waiting for more rain.

Today in ~> the Creek ... Coho Salmon Spawning
reblogged from QuestX
Today in the Creek...
Every year when the late October / early November rains swell our Creek (a tributary of Woods Creek, Washington) Coho salmon are able to pass the many fish barriers and ascend the creek.
This year we knew the salmon were just a bit downstream of us for almost 2 weeks before the rains this past weekend allowed them upstream access. Now that they are here the eagles will not be far behind...
We've been incredibly distracted recently, but we're wrapping things up, catching up, and will be posting a lot again soon! . .
