Greater Victoria sites prime viewing spots for salmon coming home to spawn

Salmon Spawning Season in Greater Victoria

Salmon spotting season is underway across Vancouver Island, with the peak expected to hit later this month. Pacific salmon are returning home to rivers and streams after travelling thousands of kilometres.

According to the Pacific Salmon Foundation, salmon have already been spotted in Goldstream Provincial Park and in the Puntledge and Quinsam rivers.

We hope people take the opportunity to get outdoors and visit local streams to witness this incredible migration.

Pacific Salmon Foundation president and CEO Michael Meneer notes that this is shaping up to be a great year for salmon spotting, thanks to favourable ocean conditions and conservation efforts.
