[@FRD-HDD]

Very nice tour. Thanks for sharing.

[@Fishtory]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lukeo85]

Great video it was very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@Fishtory]

Thank YOU for coming by, tuning in and dropping a line. Cheers

[@Anvion]

Very neat video! You're like a walking encyclopedia, which is awesome lol

[@Fishtory]

Aww well I'm just happy to go learn and read the placards and share what I find out... I feel like less of a social weirdo fish and nature nerd that way haha. Thanks for the support. Cheers

[@Leib33]

That was fun and I didn't even get tired (not having to actually walk with you LOL) Thanks much!

[@Fishtory]

Hahaa I try to deliver!

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Hello my dearest friend.. I know I haven't been active lately but I'm always watching and leaving a like... You have taught me so much and I enjoy every video I watch!! You are the most amazing person I know!! Love you bunches!!! Thank you so much for sharing!! I hope you all are having a blessed and beautiful day!!❤️🌿🐟🌿🙏

[@Fishtory]

Awwe thanks Mary! Same with you and Roxanne, I watch yall on my TV with a select few other fish channels these days. But I miss chatting and we need to talk soon. I hope you're hanging in there! Hugs and much love to you and the family

[@Argethebarge]

Awesome video. The end with the glass viewing area was particularly interesting

[@Fishtory]

Yeah sorry the sound was so bad in there!. Thanks for tuning in and coming by

[@zachsfishyjourney9623]

Awesome video man! Those are some big fish, pretty cool to see. Thanks for sharing

[@Fishtory]

Yeah of course! They are really powerful and moving to see in person. Nothing really communicates what 2 to 4 million would be like (I've only seen thousands) and it is still Breathtaking. It's amazing what humans have done/Can do. Hopefully now we can correct some of the damage too

[@pompeiranch7883]

Wow ,great talk! Very interesting!

[@Fishtory]

Thanks

[@herefishypgh]

Yay for the salmon doing well! Thanks for the field trip!! 🚌

[@Fishtory]

Of course! Thanks for joining us

[@EtheSea]

Have you been to the Bonneville dam near cascade locks? They have a viewing window where you can see a giant sturgeon they have name Herman.

[@Fishtory]

Yes! Super cool stuff

[@PatrickGeneLeBlancHardy]

NICE/BEAUTIFUL Thanks For Sharing 🌳 🐟 🌞 📹

[@Fishtory]

Sure. So glad someone else finds it moving hehe

[@laurasutton4057]

This was so cool to see!

[@Fishtory]

Thanks for your feedback! I really appreciate it.

[@reginaphalanges7331]

Boy, did I EVER enjoy your video! That was so awesome! I've been there, because I used to live in Seattle, but it was so long ago, the underwater viewing room wasn't open. Thanks for doing this for us, Alex!🙂

[@Fishtory]

Of course! Thanks for your comment, support and positive thoughts 🙏 I'm happy to go find things like this on my own, but it's more fun when others will be watching and sharing in my excitement and Intregue! Thanks

[@CarolynnMc01]

Very informative and interesting! Thank you Alex.

[@Fishtory]

Thank YOU as always for the positive feedback and your support and engagement. I'm just happy to share the things that bring me joy, with others

[@vampgaia]

Next time I’m in the Seattle area, I will be going there for sure!

[@Fishtory]

Correction *We .... *WE will be going there!* lol

[@RikoStan]

I live like 15 minutes from the Erie Canal and have kayaked through the locks quite often, very cool tech, even today.

[@Fishtory]

Right on! Yeah I think that's the first hydronic and pump powered locks in the USA (other than Panama maybe? ). But I'd love to see your side of things! Cheers Rick! Thanks for stopping in.

[@kevinneibergall9420]

Thanks so much Alex. Love the outdoors videos. So neat to see those salmon swimming. I heard your comment the other day about as a kid you loving to look in any kind of water and just in awe about what's under that water. That was me as a kid and still now. Just so neat to see what's living in different water ways. Take care brother.

[@Fishtory]

Right on! I really love sharing my excitement and wonder at the natural world with folks. So hearing from you and others about this same love of nature and fish/ water is really nice. Thanks

[@ladydiane6839]

Love love love love love..... more more more... that was fantastic!!

[@Fishtory]

Thanks Diane! I have fun going out and trying to observe nature...or culture and nature meeting. Thank you for all your support!

[@ladydiane6839]

💕 ♥️ you are my only subscription for a reason, I love your content. It took me forever to decide who I would support with my meager donation. Keep it up!

[@texasfish8382]

Very cool! I didn't know a place like this existed. I learned something today so it's a good day.

[@Fishtory]

Right on! I judge my days largely upon that criteria as well haha. Thanks for joining me!

[@nickramos5207]

Really great video! I appreciate all you do for the community. As always, love the content.

[@Fishtory]

Thanks for tuning in! It keeps me motivated when I hear an individual say something interested them also. I really appreciate the people who built this channel and keep it going. Thanks for being the answer to the hobbies problems :) anyone learning and teaching is making things better (hopefully). Have a great week

[@robertswain5704]

TYVM

[@Fishtory]

No.... TY!

[@MehHalfhearted]

Seriously cool stuff, I'm really glad I found this video.

[@Fishtory]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@DolbecAqua]

That's so cool to see! Your area is lucky to have an exhibit like that

[@Fishtory]

100% here Salmon is KING. Before tech, Seattle Relied on Timber, Salmon, Apples and Boeing Airplanes

[@shaylajones9561]

Awesome video! My dad lives on the snake river and the lower granite damn is right next door. I have only been to that fish ladder once a long time ago but I remember it being super cool. I may have to make another visit soon :)

[@Fishtory]

Right on! It's so amazing how far those fish swim

[@UpperAquatics]

Super cool! Thanks for showing this to us! I honestly think that you would be a great host for travelling fish trivia. Where you go to the place you're talking about and tell us info. Oh and BTW.. for the algorithm!!

[@Fishtory]

Hahaha I would love that show if I could afford it haha. Thanks brotha

[@DebzAquaPetz]

Loved it Alex thank you from the UK

[@Fishtory]

Thanks for the feedback. I know it was a bit off-topic of aquariums, but it's always fascinated me

[@DebzAquaPetz]

Keep doing what your doing I for one enjoy your content and the humour cheers me up and I learn things new every time 😁

[@johnblanco768]

A really good watch thanks for sharing

[@Fishtory]

Thank you, my pleasure 🙏

[@alecthenice8115]

Had no idea we had carnivorous plants in the pacwest

[@Fishtory]

Yes! They live high up on the Olympic and Cascade mountains, but the Olympics species also need saltwater fog or air, so they have to live withing 5 miles of water and get out competed easily, so they need to be sectioned off from the local plants, where as in the Olympic range, at altitude, they are the dominant plant and get enough insect food

[@katehartley2333]

Definitely going to have to check this out when I am down next

[@katehartley2333]

What was the name of the access point at that military base you showed us last week?

[@Fishtory]

Ummm 65th street at Magnuson park.... off Sandpoint Way.

[@youraveragefishkeeper]

I didn’t know that existed. I’m going to have to check it out this week hopefully

[@Fishtory]

Oh totally...the run is the best one in a long long time

[@regosilver1147]

Cool video thanks for sharing this with us👍 I have a question is Cyanobacteria a bad thing if so what can I do to get rid of it thanks.

[@Fishtory]

Cyanobacteria CAN be bad...but small amounts in the substrate usually isn't an issue...only thick layers on the top of the water and plants. Either erythromycin in the tank (2 doses 3 or 4 days apart) or simply stirring up the substrate along the glass and adding more rooted plants will usually break up the stuff you see under the substrate

[@TuanCaCanh]

Hello

[@wendychristy3560]

I remember Hershel well.

[@Fishtory]

Haha oh Hershel...we sent him to grays harbor.... ocean shores and even California...but he came right back

[@youraveragefishkeeper]

Note: some of the salmon that have their adipose fin are missing are actually clipped to signify that they are a hatchery fish. And also Pink salmon shown up every other year and if I remember correctly this year it’s estimated that 2.5 million are returning to the puget sound

[@Fishtory]

Awesome thanks for the details! Yeah unfortunately most were clipped....but some still had them! And they counted something like 1000k using the ladder by 1pm or so when I was there...they said more than any time in a century!

[@ladydiane6839]

Wow!!!!

[@nigeldelrocket]

Far Out!

[@Fishtory]

Thanks for tuning in

[@nigeldelrocket]

@@Fishtory It's always a good time.
