I imagine the smell must be from all the dying salmon..
That's awesome! All my years in Alaska I've only seen a humpy spawing run like that once.
I just moved from the Seattle area and I already miss the sight of spawning Sockeye Salmon. The fall colors in the trees and bright red Sockeye are an amazing combination. Thanks for the pictures!
I'm happy you like them. We spent quite a few hours wandering, and saw a lot of interesting sights. I do have a lot of photos though of the not so lucky fish. It was a great experience though, nothing like sitting out on a fallen tree in the middle of a river watching all these vividly coloured fish swim below you.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! This is something I've never got to see in person.
