Salmon:

Love to fish?

The salmon run August to September. Anyone who has never seen this incredible spectacle should definitely come to see the sure splendour of watching salmon spawn.

In their brilliant colours, the salmon end their journey here after having travelled thousands of kilometers in the ocean only to travel even further up rivers to arrive back at their original spawning ground.

You can watch the salmon jumping at Bailey's Chute in the Trophy Mountain park. Thousands of these salmon struggle upstream to spawn at their place of birth while the majestic Eagles circle overhead to catch their daily meal.
