Spawn is over by the looks of it

[Joey]

Went down one last time to see if I could get any more "action" shots of the salmon spawning up the river near my place and this is what I found.

Ralphie was ever vigilant though, waiting for the fish to "swim over the rocks" and perched himself on this tiny rock,it was funny to see.

Hope Ralphie didnt roll in any dead sammins

What's that with dead fish and dogs?,growing up on the beach of blue water,we used to get our share of dead fish,maybe shiners?,thinking they were maybe something else,but can't remember now, every couple years.The dogs just loved to roll in those dead fish piles.

[manitoubass2]

my dogs would totally just eat them. which is kinda gross but id prefer that to rolling around in them. my dogs love lampreys too. yuck. dont even chew, just swallow

 

nice pics joey!

[spincast]

Great to see they escaped the roe rapers. a couple fish completed their journey. With luck, perhaps more will make that journey every year.

Don't know if dogs rolling in dead fishes is any worse than when Riley rolled in a dirty diaper that someone had thrown under some bushes to hide..

 

Not too far from where Ralphie and Joey are...

[Joey]

Hahaha, thanks, no, Ralphie did not roll in the salmon, or try to eat them, he just was fascinated when they got to shallow water and tried to traverse the rocks, so he sat on that rock and waited and watched. He gave the dead fish a sniff, then moved on.

For sure, Some Cohoes run extremely late, used to see fresh chrome fish with ice forming in the Credit during Christmas break. Actually have seen a Coho with a bit of life still in it at spring breakup.
