The coho are returning once again in 2026 to Grandon Creek in Qualicum Beach, as the fall rains raise stream flows and allow spawners to swim upstream past the fish ladders and caissons.
Over a dozen were spotted on November 9, half in the stream and half hiding under logs and boulders. There should be lots of salmon eggs in the gravel beds in the next few days. This video was taken with an underwater camera.
