It's Salmon run time so I took the dogs to with me for a hike to witness this awesome sight.
The temptation for some Fishy goodness was almost too much for Maisy !
There were dead fish lying everywhere, I placed my SAK next to this one as a size reference !
The gulls were making the most of it !
We left the river and headed of on a trail, we had to go through a tunnel under the highway, this time of year there is quite a bit of water running through which makes it a little tougher.
Once out the other side we could continue our hike.
I love this time of year.
I used my Breeden Woody to get myself a certain shaped stick which I needed for a project at home. This Arbutus wood is often really hard and as I chopped this limb to shape I wondered if it would damage the edge. I checked the edge after and could see no damage at all, Bryan really makes a solid knife.
The Salmon run is always both sad and yet at the same time awesome to see. The Indians of old, believing that the "salmon people" were immortal, returned salmon bones to the river so that they might be used again by the fish. If you think about it, this Indian philosophy held much wisdom.
