While at the park having our picnic we walked up the trail to the Clackmas Fish Hatchery. The salmon swim up the stream and right into the Hatchery where they are held and bread. There was one tank with adult salmon in it and then another tank with the little baby salmon waiting to be released out into the wild. By the time we got to the hatchery Chance had fallen asleep in the stroller so he didn't get to see any of the fish but he had already had a big day hanging out at the picnic. I had never been to a fish hatchery before so it was interesting to see all the fish in the tanks. The tanks have a lot of fish in them. Salmon are easy to scare and they would all move to the other end of the tank when our shadows were cast on the water. The baby fish were jumping out of the water, they were actually in a bigger tank. After we walked around the tanks and looked at the fish we went off to find a geocache and get started on a contest they were having in Clackamas county.
