Salmon Hole!

Evelina and I decided to adventure to Salmon Hole in Winooski to personally get to know the river.  Here are some pictures of our visit.

This culvert empties into the Winooski, crossing under Riverside Ave.  Although we didn't test the water, it probably is a point-source of pollution.

This build up of debris could be attributed to beavers, or post-Irene deposition.  Now, it seems to be habitat for wildlife, such as muskrat.

The buffer zone here is minimal.

This area, just down from Winooski Falls, is closed to fishing from March til May since it is spawning grounds for fish...most likely salmon (hence the name).
