Worry, uncertainty felt at Little Campbell Hatchery as lack of rain holds up fish returns

These are the typical signs that autumn has arrived in B.C.

This season’s ongoing drought, however, has brought its own metaphorical storm clouds, halting the upstream passage of spawning salmon throughout the Lower Mainland, including a small, but significant, South Surrey river.
 

“This isn’t the worst it’s been, but it’s pretty bad,” the Little Campbell River Hatchery’s manager Bill Ridge said Wednesday (Oct. 12).

Not a single salmon or trout has made its way up the river to spawn so far this fall.
