WC#118 Against the Current

To me this represents hope because this Atlantic Salmon is trying to reach the headwaters and it's spawning beds , against all odds and obstacles in the hope of reproducing and helping the species survive.

Square Forks , Sevogle River NB Canada.

No Skip, this was only one I got that day and I wasn't too sure I got this one, at the time! Salmon spottings aren't what they used to be,
I'm afraid, even here on the Miramichi.

Thanks all, for your comments.
