Adams River Salmon Run Oct 20,21, 2018 Drone Footage

Footage taken at the mouth of the Adams River and Big Shuswap Lake B.C, my favorite place to take friends in the fall! My sound effects are my own river-side recordings and guitar riff is by my buddy Paal Garteig. • HELLO ANGEL by Paal Ga... also some 4K footage in this video but rendered down to 1080x1920 HD Fps 30.

This is such a great sign! After so many years of fewer salmons and so many tries at restauration, we are getting there. I know, I have read the reports from the old days about "so much salmon that you could walk over a river". We are not there yet - but we ARE on the way! Makes me happy to see!

Thank you for sharing. I've always been curious.

[@Charlister_]

just as good as national geographic. this should have millions of more views, you are one lucky due to have visited such a beautiful place

[@richcoutu801]

Thanks for your nice comment and l agree with you ...l hope l'm wrong but l don't think we'll ever see such high numbers like this in the future.

[@bradleyhannah8713]

We would go to Adams lake many summers in a row ,there was a fishing camp that we stayed in photos from the old days showed mass salmon just like this.

[@richcoutu801]

Sadly we have not been seeing numbers like this since this video was taken in 2018 :(

[@nmah19]

@@richcoutu801 Fingers crossed we see better runs than the past couple years on the Fraser. It was nice to see that there was some restoration done last year on the Adams River to improve water flow in some channels to help improve spawning habitat. Hopefully you can get your drone out there again in 2022!

[@richcoutu801]

@@nmah19 Yes! Absolutely so happy to hear they did some clearing and improvements for the salmon and I will have to ask for permission from the Park Rangers to do this again, I do have a licence from Transport Canada, so I don't think there should be any issues :)

[@speedbird1598]

@@richcoutu801 The large Adams river run occurs every four years. God willing you will see another one this year. The next three years will be disappointing, and if the cycle continues 2026 should be just like this. Salmon runs are somewhat cyclical (Except Pinks which are a strict two year cycle) and unfortunately the runs that come between this one have been absolutely decimated. Historically every year should have looked like this.

I love to catch and release for sports those sockeye 😁👍

[@speedbird1598]

The Adams river is closed for all salmon fishing including catch and release. I fish too, but you need to understand catch and release has a mortality to it. Between 15-35% depending on how well you handle fish. This run is the last of its kind in the world. We shouldn't mess with it at all.

I think you can fish at the mouth where the Adams river dumps into Shuswap lake "Catch and release" back in 2018, but not sure now with the salmon numbers declining!.
