Fry Spotting in Campbell CreekIf you see tiny fish in Campbell Creek, please leave them there; they are actually young salmon, not minnows!

These young salmon are called "fry" and need to stay in the creek to live; they will die if you put them in your fish tank at home! They are wild fish - not pet fish! Young salmon stay in Campbell Creek for one to three years depending on the species. Check out the chart on the panel to learn when young salmon head to sea.
