Smith’s Chinook numbers are the highest in decades

One of the numerous salmon returning to the Smith River this week makes a direct hit on a concrete block near Rowdy Creek Fish Hatchery. Observers say the number of returning fish is the highest in decades. See coverage on Page B1 and still more images at triplicate.com/photos. (The Daily Triplicate/Bryant Anderson)

The basin’s rivers and creeks are so full that in some spots it seems like a dexterous person could walk across the backs of fish from one side to the other.

The spectacle was at its best at the Rowdy Creek Fish Hatchery early Tuesday evening.

According to members, the event has been going on for 48 years.

More than 30 people arrived throughout the day and the gallery was packed with people looking at art, as well as eating.

The Coast Redwoods Art Association (CRAA) is the non-profit organization that runs the gallery.

Chuck Keeley, president of the CRAA, noted the gallery holds art demonstrations each month. The gallery schedules art classes for all age groups as well.

On Saturday, however, Keeley was definitely a fan of the food, and had just scraped his plate before speaking with The Triplicate.

“Well you’ve heard the term ‘starving artist?’” said Keeley. “This is a way to make up for that.”
