It appears that the 2005 salmon spawning season in Byrne Creek has ended, with the last coho found on Dec. 29, 2005. Streamkeepers haven't seen any spawners since then.
Unfortunately, the return was less than half of 2004. Streamkeepers were also dismayed that very few male coho returned, and almost all of the female coho found had not spawned. The chum run was very low, less than a third of 2004.
