It has been another difficult week with my health. I hope I am feeling better soon.
In my travels to the doctor and pharmacist my husband took me to this park to help me get out of the house and perhaps feel a little bit better. I had never been there before but the Nicomekl River, a river I regularly volunteer to enhance, flows right through it.
It was quite a sight! The salmon have returned and it was great to see them rising and jumping out of the water.
My husband tried his hand at fishing and managed to actually catch one! It was a wild coho, so he couldn't keep it, but it was the first fish he caught in the river. It was neat to see the fish he caught get put back and to see the smile on my husband's face.
He also removed a bunch of fish line from the side of the creek bed as fish can get trapped in it.
When we returned home from our walk, my husband emailed the place I volunteer to ask them if the amount of dead fish we had seen during our walk was a normal amount. Sadly, my husband found out that there may be something going on in this part of the river and that the number of fish that have died is not normal. The DFO has been called in to determine what's going on. I hope they find out what is causing this and soon.
Thanks for reading
Lynn
