Sockeye for your eye

Here is more from this past weekend trip.


The Sockeye were swimming up from Wallowa Lake. It was fun to watch.

What surprised me was the lack of information for tourists to read. No signs were posted suggesting people to stay out of the river bed. Why should you not go into the river? First off you scare the fish. Second, you may unintentionally step on a redd, in other words smother the eggs the poor fish died to put there.
