Salmon Still Spawning

While I was walking my dog this afternoon at Ellacoya, it was interesting to still see a lot of salmon spawning in poor farm brook. I counted 50 + just in the short section between the main lake and the small foot bridge that separates the RV park from the state park. Usually by now spawning is done.

Back in late October I was walking down the snowmobile trail that follows poor farm brook on the south side of route 11 and there were a lot of salmon even that far up the brook with some rainbows that were chasing and eating the salmon spawn. It was quite a sight to watch. Those fish went over a lot of obstacles to get up the brook that far!!

Mother Nature sure can put on a good show when she wants!
