Several years ago, Adele Freeland and I went out in the rain looking for salmon coming up West Hylebos Creek to spawn. We didn't see any angle in the lower creek and Adele didn't see any fish in the fish ladder behind the blueberry farm. I was standing at the top of the fish ladder, directly opposite the viewing platform at Brooklake, staring into the pool formed between the first and second levels, when I heard an enormous number of flopping and flapping coming from my right.
