The
Sockeye Salmon battle up the both the Fraser and Thompson Rivers. 12 Km
of Adams River will be the destination of millions of the returning
sockeye salmon as well as other salmon species. With 65 hectares of
stream bed Adams River rates amongst the richest natural spawning
streams in North America. Salmon return to the Adams River every year
but every 4 years there is a dominant run in which the largest amount of
salmon return dwarfing the smaller years. 2010 brought a
staggering 35 million salmon returning up the Fraser River.
2011 is a less dominant run and with the expected salmon run to be
approximately 3-5 million.
