Byrne Creek Coho Fry Photos
Yumi and I managed to net one of the new coho fry (baby salmon) that have been emerging in Byrne Creek.
These are a couple of photos that Yumi took.
This little fry was about 4 - 5cm long and we released it unharmed after getting its portrait.
With a lot of luck it may survive the year it spends in the creek before heading out to the ocean for a couple of years. Then against immense odds, it might be back in our creek in three years or so to spawn and die.
