01/02/2007 - Location: Grizzly Creek Tale: On December 19th at Grizzly Creek, I observed 10 chinook spawning in two reds located 50 and 100yards upstream from the highway bridge. On January 1 I observed 2 chinook spanwning in the riffle 50 yards upstream from the bridge. 11/19/2006 - Location: Chetham-Hely Tale: On a paddle through Swimmers Delight, I observed 4 chinook salmon. A pair appeared to be spawning in the riffle downstream from the fallen redwoods restoration project. The river was just clearing for limited visibility. I also saw a bald eagle, and was joined for a stretch by a kingfisher flying back and forth along the river. 11/24/05 Thanksgiving Day Salmon Sighting Riverside Park Rd. Upriver of Parker Hole Naomi and I went for a walk with Omar, the big dog. There is a spot upriver from Parker Hole that salmon spawned last year. We were invited to quite a show with a large female and many males vying for here attention. So far this year I had not actually witnessed any salmon just seen videos of the November 4th migration. Naomi spotted the white tail of a female hanging out of the riffle in a pool by the banks. She rolled and showed herself to us. IT was so exciting to see our 1st salmon of the year. We watched her for about 20 minutes. She came toward us and we could see her entirely. She was a good size 25-35 pounder. About 24 inches long. She played in the riffle and was beautiful. We were so happy! It made our Thanksgiving Day. Sal Steinberg Do
