The forecast for tomorrow still looks soggy and blustery, and that’s led Fauntleroy Creek steward Judy Pickens to make this call:

The forecast for late Sunday afternoon is such that we are wise to cancel the annual salmon drumming on Fauntleroy Creek, scheduled for 5 PM at the fish-ladder viewpoint. Parents with young children will keep them home in the face of rain and wind, and we don’t want any instruments getting wet.

Thanks to all who had planned to come and participate in this seasonal ritual. The salmon watch will start on Monday, and we can only hope that the spawners will come in on their own this year!
