Nice territory!
Rivers are always relaxing or invigorating, time spent seeing the rage of a spring melt off as well as minimal levels of late summer flows shows they are a living changing force.
I never get enough!
My best friend lives on Jim Creek, it feeds the Stillaguamish then the Salish sea.
His 7 acres has the river cutting through it, so it's a constant focal point.
This years run of Pink Salmon has been epic, most I've seen in at least 30 years,
lots of Eagles and other Raptors enjoying the bounty- his place is far up enough that you see spawning happening.
The last couple weeks transitioned from full of life to very stinky with lots of rotting going on... the forests are getting a great fertilizing this year.
Then, there's Steve's dog Milo- he loves the river and sticks pretty equally, combine the two and it's the best day ever!
