Every year it seems we have some flooding around Thanksgiving here in Washington state. When the water rises the local Salmon that are heading up river to spawn get caught in some strange places after the water recedes. We always have MANY news stories where the reporters stand in the road and act like the Salmon need to be rescued and they try to pick them up and carry them to the other side of the road. Here's a video from Komo news 4 in Seattle of some river flooding Salmon action -

We went for a drive near Wickersham on Friday after we'd had our annual high water and here are some pictures I took of Salmon in and out of the Samish river.

Hope you had a happy and dry Thanksgiving.
