A Man And His River - 2

5,000 chinook at Glory Slough:


Note the scum and bubbles on the surface. From their circular pattern, moving up, across, down and back across, etc., chinook schools carry surface detritus, bubbles from releasing them after sipping air at the surface along with them. You will see these patches that are moving upstream, rather than down, because of all the fish underneath creating the current. A good way to spot big schools. This is just a detail of the entire school.
