Fall’s salmon run at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery observed in two ways

The fall salmon run is happening right now on the American River, and for many in the greater Sacramento area, that usually means a visit to the Nimbus Fish Hatchery to check out the fish ladders and nearby spawning grounds. Although the hatchery visitor center is closed because of the pandemic, observing the salmon run can still happen, in a safe way, from the hatchery’s nature trail. Several people stopped by the trail on Saturday to witness the fall phenomenon -- expressing appreciation for something as fascinating as the salmon run happening so close to home.
