SALMON DIVING IN GLACIER PARK
HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES FROM ROBERT HANSON.
I was reading in the "Glacier: A Natural History Guide" a few
facts. Around 1935 salmon started to migrate into Glacier
National Park via McDonald Creek. Finding conditions ideal
for spawning, Lake McDonald found itself hosting tens of
thousands of Kokanee each autumn. It was estimated that by
1981 there were more than 1,000 eagles feeding off of the
Kokanee. Through events outside the park the Kokanee
began to starve and the number of spawning Kokanee went
from 118,000 in 1985 to 50 in 1989! As you can see, the
salmon are making a slow return to Lake McDonald. If you get
a chance to see it, don't hesitate. It is truly a site to see right
our your back door.

The fun of it all is to take your pumpkin down in a bag,
cut a spectacular specimen of a carving with only your
dive knife. Your dive buddy helps hold the uncut,
unscraped pumpkin down while you go to town. Of
course we vote on who has to best pumpkin at the chili
feed afterwards!
