Amazing four days of Salmon Photography on Vancouver Island.

Feeling satisfied after completing 4 fantastic days of personal salmon photography guiding in which we found and photographed all 5 Pacific Salmon Species. With a very talented, award winning UW Photographer from Italy, David Salvatori, we explored various rivers around Quadra Island and North Vancouver Island. Here is a pic of each species. In order Chinook, Pink, Coho, Sockeye and Chum. This time of year is the best for the abundance of varieties. The weather can be challenging but we got it right over the last few days.
