Salmon at Stamp Falls
I suppose it is time to get on my annual soap box and rave about how great the the spectacle is at Stamp Falls. It is truly the best place on Vancouver Island to see salmon migrating to the spawning grounds.
Any time from early September to late October is a great time to visit. If possible, choose a sunny mid-morning because the angle of the sun is best to see the fish in the pool below the falls and best for photography.
This year there is some concern about how few Chinook are passing through the counters stationed at the falls. Only a quarter of the normal number of this species have passed by them, 2,568. Out in the ocean fishermen have caught 42,000.
