I’d love to visit BC and see this first hand, I’ve read that the salmon population has actually increased in some regions in recent years which is always promising.

I grew up near Enderby B.C.

Hope to see it again.

Hi Jenny, 2014 is a dominant run with the chance of seeing millions of fish battling their way upstream to spawn. It should be a great year to go and if we’re in the province you can guarantee we’ll be there again.

Usually the salmon return during the first 3 weeks of October with Thanksgiving being the peak weekend. This fall 2014 will be a great time to go and 2015 should be half decent as well.

In 2014, the Adams River Salmon Society hold their Salute to Sockeye event from Friday October 3, 2014 to Sunday October 26, 2014. To get up to date information feel free to check out the Adams River Salmon Society page which can be found here.

Hi,

When the run starts in 2014? How long the run last?

Thanks

Jenny

And even better – you were there for the best one I can ever remember. We had been getting worried with the declining numbers, but the run in 2012 definitely restored our spirits.

Hi Blair, thanks for catching that. Good to know there are a few places closer to the park for those that want to stay in the area. The salmon run is always great to see and it’s nice we live close enough to enjoy it every year.

The spelling is Shuswap, not Shushwap. There are local accommodation near the Roderick Haig-Brown Park. One is the Quaaout Lodge which is a hotel run by the Little Shuswap Indian Band. It is about 6km from the park on Little Shuswap. There is also an international Youth Hostel 4km from the park. The North Shuswap has campgrounds and B&B’s. Chase and Sorrento are nearby but Kamloops and Salmon Arm are not close for accommodation.
The Adam’s River Salmon Society does hosts smaller events on the Thanksgiving weekends on non-dominant years (2013, 2015, 1016, 2017).
