Survey Results

Live Count
Species Observed: Chum Salmon	Habitat Code: riffle	Latitude: 49.32	Longitude: -123.09		Live Count: 1
Comments: worn tail with fungus, but swimming well. Female? Spawned already?
Species Observed: Coho Salmon	Habitat Code: undercut	Latitude: 49.32	Longitude: -123.09		Live Count: 1
Comments: large fish flushed from hiding spot under a log/rock next to me with a burst heading upstream. Dark, clearly a coho, but sex undetermined. I was unable to find it again when walking further upstream. No photos, but zero doubt it was a coho. This is the first adult coho I have seen above Keith Road in 3 years of surveys!
