——- Please Note ——-
Late June 2023 our sockeye salmon returned from the Pacific Ocean and entered the Columbia River near Astoria, Oregon.
Returning numbers were good and average size was 2.7 lbs.
Unfortunately, by the time the salmon had finished traversing the many dams and reached the turnoff to travel north into Canada, Okanagan River water temperatures exceeded 20 degrees Celsius!
With these temperatures, the salmon spent the summer in Washington state in the Columbia River.
In October, when water temperatures finally cooled, the sockeye salmon that survived the many sport fishing boats, finally returned to Canada.
With the late return to Canada, there was no sockeye harvest in 2023 in the Okanagan!
We had planned a production run of Okanagan Select sockeye cans.
With no harvest, there was no production run!
Consequently, we no longer have cases of regular Okanagan Select sockeye cans available!
The production run we had planned for 2023 will hopefully happen in late 2024!
Red arrow on following map indicates where water temperatures in early July 2023 were too high for returning salmon. Green area has water flowing to the Columbia River.
Thank you for supporting the Okanagan Nation Alliance salmon reintroduction efforts
Update: Expect back in stock by end of November 2024. Canning currently in progress
