Description: Captured this video of a beautiful pair of Chinook salmon holding in front of their redd in a tributary of the Middle Fork Eel while they were waiting for the water to warm above 42 F.Water colder than that is lethal to unhardened salmon eggs. I am lying on my stomach stream side conversing with ERRP volunteers Dane Downing and David Weitzman and you can hear me joking with them.
