Atlantic Salmon Jump Here!

Atlantic Salmon Jump Here! I recently visited Grand Falls Newfoundland, home of the Exploits River. The Exploits is a salmon river and as you drive along the river you can see anglers patiently trying to hook one. Every summer thousands of salmon make the trip back to spawn in the interior of Newfoundland.

I took these photos from the observation deck at the Salmon Ladder coffe shop.

You can walk down the hill to the salmon observation building and watch the salmon as they wait for their opportunity to take the next leg of their journey.

We had a fresh salmon for dinner that my brother caught the previous day, delicious!
