Sportfishing for Chinook salmon

Fishing site for coho salmon at the entrance to a canyon on Bulkley River. Fishermen capture running salmon using nets and tag them, after which they are released on the other side of the rapids.

The salmon run is the time at which salmon swim back up the rivers in which they were born to spawn. All Pacific salmon die after spawning. While most Atlantic salmon die after their first spawn, about 5-10% (mostly female) return to the sea to feed between spawnings. The annual run is a major event for sport fisherman and grizzly bears.The Tlingit clans had a salmon run too.
