Chum Salmon Spawning

Chum salmon spawning in the Teslin River.

In October 2024, our Yukon First Nation Salmon Stewardship Alliance team, along with staff from Teslin Tlingit Council traveled down the Teslin River to observe a chum salmon spawning site. Despite challenging weather and an extremely poor chum run, we were grateful to witness spawning chum, which is shared in this video.
