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!
