One of the fun things that has happened to me, while working traps, is when the run hits. Small creeks and suddenly a couple hundred coho or chum or a bunch of steelhead. Often on a freshet, sometimes at night so we stayed late.

Speaking of odd chum, I once passed a fish through the trap that was just above head of tide. Nice clean fish, somewhat silver. Next morning on a spawner survey I found her dead about 100m further upstream. And 100% spawned out.
