2011 Lower Boise Creek salmon returns video

The 2011 Lower Boise Creek spawning salmon video shows large numbers of salmon returning to spawn in Boise Creek east of Enumclaw, just off Hwy 410. By mid-September, over 7,200 pink and 23 chinook salmon had entered Boise Creek with many more on the way.  The first thing these salmon will encounter as they leave the White River and enter Boise Creek is two acres of new habitat restored in 2010.
