Another creative display by staff at the Education Center - an interactive how-to on salmon laying eggs in gravel. Females make one redd but can have several pits in the redd. It takes 15 to 30 minutes for a female to complete a pit and 6 to 12 hours to complete a redd. She uses her tail and body in a horizontal digging motion as illustrated here.
