Go Coho!

Since Nick just can't get enough of the northwest salmon we headed to the Sandy Oregon Fish Hatchery at Cedar Creek this weekend.

The number of fish fighting their way up Cedar Creek to try and get into the hatchery was amazing to say the least.

Here you can see some of the coho who were repeatedly scaling the waterfall right outside the penned in areas.

The pens had been closed off as they were at maximum capacity. Fish scale to scale as far as the eye could see!

Nick just happened to have his rod in the car so we made our way down to the creek to see if anything was biting. Nick fished for a bit but didn't manage to snag one. Several people were packing out fish so they were definitely there, snagging them in the mouth is the hardest part.


On the hike back there was an amazing view of the mountain across Cedar Creek Ranch's open field. This picture really doesn't do it justice but the camera was trying to die while Nick took it.
