Salmon River

The Salmon River flows through British Columbia, providing essential spawning grounds for five Pacific salmon species including Chinook, Coho, Chum, Sockeye, and Pink salmon.

Native communities established settlements along the Salmon River banks centuries ago, utilizing the abundant salmon runs as their primary food and trading resource.

The river maintains its role as a vital waterway where traditional fishing methods combine with modern sport fishing practices throughout the seasonal migrations.

Anglers can access the river through multiple entry points within the Strathcona Regional District, with peak fishing seasons occurring from July through September.

The river system supports annual salmon runs reaching up to 25 million fish of a single species, creating dense concentrations of marine life in its waters.
