The Adams River is a tributary of the Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada.
They then retrace their route to the Adams, completing a round trip of over 4,000 kilometers.
At this point their numbers are reduced to about 2 million.
The female deposits approximately 3,500 pinkish eggs to which the male adds a whitish milt to fertilize them.
The sockeye pair then cover the eggs with loose gravel as protection against marauding fish and birds.
The best place to view the run is at the Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park.
This is located between Adams Lake and the Shuswap Lake, about a 40 minute drive from Kamloops.
