At the height of the salmon migration and spawning season, which often draws hundreds of thousands of spectators across B.C., the Alouette River Management Society (ARMS) has come out with a list of tips to help people enjoy the majesty of the fish without disrupting or harming the wildlife.

With more than 6.8 million sockeye salmon returning on the Fraser River this year, according to the Pacific Salmon Commission, there is going to be a significant number of salmon eggs along stream beds. That91裸聊视频檚 why ARMS is recommending that spectators stay out of the streams when viewing the salmon.
