Our campsite at the Thunder River RV Park in Campbell River is right on the waterfront over looking the Discovery Passage inside passage. At this time, the locals tell us that there are over 10,000 salmon in this bay. Campbell River is known as the Salmon Capitol of the World; they have all 5 species of salmon in their waters.
Every morning and every evening there are small boats, about the size of canoes, on the water. There are usually only one or two people in each boat and they drift up and down the bay in front of us. Each morning when we get up there are about 10-20 boats on the water and by 8:00 am, they are all gone. And then each evening about 5:00 pm, they are back and stay until dark ( about 9:00 pm ). It is so cool to just watch them drift up and down and in small groups working to get those salmon.
What a wonderful experience we are having.
