A fish eyes view to life underwater. These Coho’s sides and back are still silver blue as they make their way towards their spawning grounds. Soon, however, they will turn shades of red to attract their spawning mate and come to the end of their life cycle.

Thank you Reece for another incredible video.

The QENTOL, YEN / WSÁNEĆ Marine Guardians and the Thursday crew clipped in the dappled sunshine today. In mid-October we are lucky, happy and thankful to have a sunny day to clip coho outdoors. These mild days won’t last much longer so we will enjoy them while we can. ⛈️🐟.

Be like a Coho and get out there and enjoy the nice days!

THEY’RE BACK ! Everyone’s favourite Oncorhynchus Kisutch, Coho Salmon, are starting to return to Goldstream River for the annual spawning migration.

The salmon are gathering in the estuary area where there is a tidal influence on the river. There is a saltwater and freshwater lens in the river that salmon go between as their bodies transition from their ocean home to the freshwater of the river for spawning.

Thank you Reece for the great footage.
