In the middle photo you can see a female flipping sideways to dig a nest (redd) in the gravel into which she’ll deposit her eggs. Other photo shows male shadowing, ready to contribute his milt.

Yumi retreiving a dead chum for processing. Streamkeepers have training and permission from DFO to process dead salmon for species, size, sex, spawning status, and anything else notable or distinct about each fish.

NOTE: It is illegal to interfere with spawning salmon. It is illegal to handle them, or remove them. Unfortunately not all people understand this, so please share this message. Thank you!
