Talk:Queen Charlotte Strait

Salmon runs
I didn't know how to fit it in, partly because there's not much further wiki-copy about the Northwest Coast salmon runs on the salmon article; there are several major salmon runs that use this strait as a route; obviously the Nimpkish, Kingcome, Knight and Bute runs....but also, at least in part, the largest, the Fraser Sockeye run, which splits around Vancouver Island and in some years is known to come through here and the Johnstone Strait en route to the Fraser.....it's one reason for the richness of the fishery in this area, as added to the new bit about the Kwakwaka'wakw. Something to note for later expansion, as well as ethnographic features like clam gardens etc....(as well as the history of intertribal warfare, including the use of this route for Haida/Tlingit/Tsimshian raids on the Coast Salish peoples farther south).Skookum1 (talk) 02:06, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
