New Video Shows Salmon Using Flooded B.C. Road As A River

New video shows the extent of the flooding along some Surrey streets during the recent atmospheric rivers that slammed into B.C.

On Nov. 28, salmon were spotted swimming along the road connected to Little Campbell River.

There is a hatchery nearby and the salmon were using the road as a detour in order to connect to the river on the other side.

“At this time of year, there are thousands of salmon that return to the streams and rivers of BC after spending their lives in the ocean,” Upkar Singh Tatlay posted on Twitter.

“An epic journey that ends with them going upstream to the exact spot in which they were born themselves to now finish off their lives.”

Tatlay said in the footage you can see the water spilling onto the roadway, “which the salmon took to and used to continue their journey.”
