55. The Crimson Sockeye

THE CRIMSON SOCKEYE

(8.8 miles east of Chase)

The Adams River contains the most productive spawning beds in BC.  Each fall the river teems with crimson sockeye salmon.

To the Indian, the fur-trader, and the first settlers, the advent of the ‘run’ could mean life itself.

The continuance of this age-old spawning cycle will bring millions of dollars each year to the people of the Pacific Northwest.
