Recent intel indicates that sockeye salmon have been spotted in the area and are spawning but there is no guarantee that we will find them.  If we locate them, we'll spend time watching and/or photographing them.  This should be a great activity if it's raining on the West side. 

Please send proof of vaccinated status if you don't have a vaccine badge on your profile. 

Meet at the Tibbetts Valley Park lot at 8:00AM. Details to be sent prior to the trip.
