PRINCE GEORGE – For the past few days, sockeye salmon have been spotted swimming in one of the city’s urban creeks. Many people are excited, but fish experts are concerned.

“When we see them in a little feeder creek like McMillan, which traditionally holds salmon, it’s not necessarily a good thing here because the sockeye, they’re stressed out. They’re taking little offshoots from being held up at Big Bar and Hell’s Gate all those impediments that are further down the line.”
