RiverMan Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I live in Oregon and not far from me is the Columbia River. Right now spring chinook salmon are making their annual trek up the river and can be seen in the viewing windows of dams along the route. For those interested there is a webcam at the first dam they encounter, Bonneville Dam. The webcam is located in the fish ladder and refreshes about every 30 seconds. If you periodically check back at it you will without doubt so some "pure chrome" headed upriver. These fish are only about 3 days swim from the ocean. The fish can be seen in large numbers just before dark which is around 8:00 pacific time. Here is the link for the camera, enjoy. http://www.nwp.usace.army.mil/op/b/fishcam/fishimage.jpg Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Jed, That is really cool. You don't see fish everytime but when the camera gets one it is cool. Some like me, never get the chance to see this. Thanks, Tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 They swim fast through the window Tally as there is a strong current here so when the camera catches one he's there and gone! If you around about two hours from now take a look, you will likely see a bunch of them! jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
