Water Tenders and onlookers spot about 35 salmon on Bear Creek this weekend


I thought you might be interested to see these photos of some hard working Water Tender volunteers at the booth set up on the Tolt Pipeline at the end of 148th St off of Mink Road close to Bear Creek on this weekend
One photo shows the very informative kiosk that was erected by Water Tenders some years ago.  That's Gary Smith in the background on the left, peering into Bear Creek with some local residents.  Free waterproof colorful fish ID cards were handed out to anyone who wanted one, along with paper frame polaroid 'glasses' to help see the salmon.
 61 people on Sat the 28th and 85 turned out on the 29th.    It was guessed 5-10 kings and 20-30 sockeye came through on Sunday ...  The Watertenders will be back next weekend.
