The Adams River Salmon Society coordinate the celebration known as the ‘Salute to the Sockeye’ during the dominant years. The following years are “sub-dominant” runs of sockeye: 2003, 2007, 2011. These years often have substantial returns of sockeye and offer excellent viewing opportunities. During the last three weeks of October in years where there isn’t a ‘dominant’ or ‘sub-dominant’ return, a small number of salmon begin their spawning cycle. The best place to view spawning salmon will be in the channel next to the parking lot.
