This yearB次元官网网址檚 salmon run in the Goldstream River peaked and is starting to taper off.

Each week, staff from the Goldstream Hatchery walk the river counting the spawning fish. About three weeks ago the number peaked at 25,000 chum counted in one day.

Last Wednesday the staff counted about 14,000.

With thousands of chum still swimming up stream the hatchery staff will continue the weekly walks for a while.

B次元官网网址淭he coho are still coming,B次元官网网址� said hatchery manager Peter McCully explaining they are counted a bit differently. They are counted at a fence and the carcasses are also counted.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a good year for the coho, itB次元官网网址檚 better than itB次元官网网址檚 been in a decade,B次元官网网址� he said.

While the chum and coho numbers have been up, McCully is disappointed by the nearly nonexistent chinook.

B次元官网网址淭he chinook came in early and (the numbers) are disappointing,B次元官网网址� McCully said. In previous years less than 20 chinooks were counted. McCully has said he fears the chinook are soon to be extinct in the Goldstream River.

The official fish count numbers will be released in January.
