We were in South Surrey August 28th when the news of the day was about the incredible number of Sockeye Salmon making their way from the Ocean up the Fraser River to spawn. They say this was the biggest run in at least 100 years. The news broadcasts also told of the fresh salmon being sold right off the fish boats at Steveston so Kevin, Jared, Helen and I, at my urging, decided to check it out. Not necessarily as good an idea as I thought. We got clogged in the traffic from the Massey Tunnel to the village, the crowds at the village and the return trip! Then there was the fact that by the time we got there the Sockeye were all sold out! We did pick up a flash frozen 10 - 12 lb. Coho that we took to Kelowna with us where it was polished off in good order. Here's pictures to give some idea of the crowd we encountered. It's sure a good thing the docks at Steveston are in a lot better shape than ours in Powell River.
