Coho Dominance in the Creek

3 male coho in Brooklyn Creek.

Plenty of reports of Coho in the creek have come in this Fall of 2021. Video below (taken at Cedar Avenue bridge, Comox, Nov. 8) show a large red male salmon fighting off other males interested in the female. Also several female Coho salmon digging trenches for their eggs. But mostly fighting amongst the males – size matters!

    What great news! Congrats and thanks to all of you who have worked so hard to make this happen.

    And to the weather goddesses for more than enough water to make swimming upstream so easy this year.

    Great video, Alan. Good tip to use polarized sunglasses to cut surface glare.
