Fry Spotted in Byrne Creek in SE Burnaby

I spent a couple of hours after work this afternoon searching for fry in Byrne Creek in SE Burnaby. Success!

I spotted one near the wooden footbridge at the bottom end of the ravine, and half a dozen upstream and downstream of the Meadow Ave. bridge.

Din’t get any clear shots, but judging by the orange tails they were coho.

It’s always so rewarding to spot fry in the spring, for that means that salmon that came back to spawn in this stressed urban creek the previous autumn were successful in starting a new generation. Yay!
