Island Salmon Spawning: Safe Spotting Locations
Salmon spotting season has begun on Vancouver Island, with the peak expected later this month. Pacific salmon are returning to rivers and streams after traveling thousands of kilometers.
Salmon have been spotted in Goldstream Provincial Park and in the Puntledge and Quinsam rivers, according to the Pacific Salmon Foundation.
(This) is turning out to be a great year to spot salmon. Ocean conditions have been favourable coupled with significant stewardship and conservation work led by First Nations, streamkeepers, and grassroots groups across B.C. The number of salmon returning to date show they are resilient.
Pacific Salmon Foundation president and CEO Michael Meneer encourages people to witness this migration, saying "We hope people take the opportunity to get outdoors and visit local streams to witness this incredible migration."
