Pink salmon returns to the Campbell and Quinsam Rivers hit a historic high of over one million fish this year.
It is the highest total on record since the Quinsam Hatchery opened over 35 years ago.
This year's total even surpassed the return of about 900,000 in 2009. Last year about 327,000 pinks returned to the river.
While the pink numbers are confirmed, hatchery staff have been busy doing pink salmon egg takes and haven't had a chance to do swim counts and get the numbers on the other Pacific salmon in the system
