Here are some scenes of Ketchikan Creek Street and salmon trying to get upstream. The lower part of the creek is a boardwalk with shops. The creek itself was loaded with thousands upon thousands of salmon trying to move upstream. The closer the salmon got to the point where the salmon is jumping out of the water, the more densely they were packed together. The jump shot is at a waterfall that proved to be a formidable obstacle for them. Some teenagers offered to let Bob use their fishing gear for $5 each fish he caught, but he didn't have a fishing license. The teenagers said he didn't need one - yeah, right. The salmon were 18-24 inches, and would have been alot of fun to catch.

That looks like a great place to shop and stroll around. Salmon sure do work hard, don't they?
I've been there. The salmon were not running in such large numbers. Did you take a walk on the Married Man's trail?
I think they should build a fish ladder for those salmon to help them out. I think we walked on that trail, if it is the one that is along the creek up above the shops?
