After four long years of record-low numbers, the fall-run chinook salmon population surged back from the ocean this year, once again filling the Sacramento Valley's rivers on their spawning run.
The anglers were out in force Wednesday below Nimbus Dam near the American River fish hatchery. A productive fishing season ends this month.
Salmon hatch eggs from a large jar Wednesday at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery. The bountiful fall salmon run was a boon to the north state after four record-low years and the cancellation of fishing seasons in 2008 and 2009. Last winter's heavy rains and snowfall filled the state's reservoirs and boosted river flows, facilitating fish migration. Still, the fall salmon run was well below historical highs.
