I will look again , but it looks like the hatchery pool and mostly spring and chum to me .I can't see one Spring Salmon I think you're looking at female Coho.
I swam fished and kept plenty of beer cold in that river. Back then we called it the Vedder River.An hour's drive from downtown Vancouver-the ragged striped ones are Chum & the Cherry coloured ones are Coho.
I spent part of my preteen youth living in Slesse Park. It was a nice place for a kid.That is the lower portion , further up it changes into the Chilliwack , or Vedder River . The canal was built by the farmers for land reclamation and flood control . Killed a huge sockeye run and removed lots of prime coho rearing area .
Same place . Still called the Vedder , officially I think it is the
Vedder Canal
.
Yup , you must have caught a few steelhead .I spent part of my preteen youth living in Slesse Park. It was a nice place for a kid.
