Oncorhynchus Tshawytscha*

Okay. I promise. No more dead fish pictures this year. I just figured if I posted about dead pinks and reds, I needed to give king salmon a little bit of love too.

It's not often I see this, and why I took the photos, but a whole 45-50lb king salmon carcass floating near the dock is unusual.

The only explanation I have for this is the tide change must have pushed it up from the river...Or, I could start rumors that kings are spawning in Beaver Creek. Maybe I'll save that story for April Fool's Day.




*scientific name for king salmon
