Salmon

     Last weekend our family took about 8 hours went to Salmon Arm , we wanted to visit salmon bake to their original spawning. News paper reports that the peak of returning salmon is not expected to be reached until mid-October.
     This is my first time beet to Salmon Arm. There is very beautiful and small  village, clean the street, the maple trees are turn red, the wind is warm and damp. We fled comfortable when we walked in the street looking for the Chinese restaurant Thought this is very strange place , l fled safe and warm around me. The first night we slept the Salmon Arm Prestige.
      The second day, we went to the Salmon Arm Park in the morning. We saw hundreds of people was walking and taking precises .The worker of the park told us about 2 million salmon return to the Shuswap system.What it  is very mystical  salmon.
       We should know
       Once  they arrive they will hold off the mouth of the Adams until they are;
       Ready to move into the river as space opens up 
       Ready to pair up with a partner
       Ready to spawn (red and mature)
       They will then dig and protect their nest site

  1. That's so amazing that you drove all the way to Salmon Arm! I wish I had gone to see the Salmon. I'm sure it must be something you will never forget seeing. I also think that Salmon Arm is a great little town. I've stayed there many times on my way to Vancouver!
