Salmon Gets a Helping Hand
2008-11-13 / News
 This stuck salmon gets a helping human hand to make it upstream Thursday afternoon, November 5. Near death, like two other large fish that lay nearby, this approximately 28-inch long salmon was unable to power its way through about two inches of water, becoming lodged at the mouth of Hoban Creek where it flows into Lake Huron. Discovering the salmon's predicament, St. Ignace resident Donna Louwers carefully lifts the fish to deeper stream waters. The fish quickly recovered to continue its upstream journey. The fall salmon run in Michigan begins in October and ends in early November. |
