The fishladder has opened for the 2010 summer season and the salmon cam has been re-activated. A series of cameras are situated at the base of the fishadder. They provide a rare opportunity to see a variety of species of Yukon fish, including arctic grayling, whitefish, lake trout, longnose sucker, and starting in early August, Chinook salmon.
We would like to gratefully acknowledge the Yukon River Panel, which provided the funding that allowed us to install a new web cam in 2009. Unlike the old system, this new web cam is accessible to both Mac and PC users (the old system could only be used by PC operators).
Note that the fish cam may take a few minutes to load. We thank you for your patience.
Salmon numbers as of September 3, 2010: 516 males (261 hatchery and 255 wild), 141 females (58 hatchery and 83 wild) for a total of 657 fish.
Below is a short video taken inside the fishladder at a time the Chinook salmon were running.
