| Looking for Sammamish River salmon from the "Rrusty bridge" |
Today is the second day of Fall and it's salmon seeson! Have you seen them yet? Polarized sunglasses help but all of us were able to see a sluggish salmon hanging out below the "Rusty bridge" -- located north of the Powerline Trail in the vicinity of the Overlake Christian Church.
Further upstream, on the Trestle Bridge John Reinke "saw a number of large Chinook salmon migrating south towards Lake Sammamish." First he spotted "5 or 6, then maybe 8 minutes later counted 24....then 5 minutes another 9 or 10." To find the Trestle bridge walk west on the downtown Connector Trail for about a half mile.
You should be able to see salmon now through mid-October.

9/24: We saw a dead salmon this afternoon and heard a few splashes but that was it. A kayaker yelled up that he saw LOTS of salmon in Woodinville....so more to come!

Salmon have returned to Bear Creek and its tributaries. Today (Monday 9/25) there were 3 bright red sockeye in Bear Creek at Juel Park off of NE 116th Street. Cottage Lake Creek is getting a run of big Chinook. Take Avondale Road north and turn left on NE 159th Street. Park at the bridge over Cottage Lake Creek and look for fish and listen for splashing! Water Tenders will be hosting "Meet the Salmon" at Bear Creek at the Tolt Pipeline crossing off of Mink Road on the next two Wednesdays 3-6 PM and Saturday and Sunday 1-4 PM (9/27-10/8.) There will be displays and salmon viewing glasses for kids. Use this map: https://goo.gl/maps/7yhACojuCRS2. on
ReplyDeleteI saw 8 Coho in Bear Creek at Juel Park. Walk past the porta potty and take the path near the small wooden pump house.
ReplyDeleteWe went on Thursday for an hour and saw plenty! Noticed several non salmon enjoyed the protection of the 3 shopping carts. Yes to polarized glasses!
