Journey Home is an incredible story
of the Chinook salmon on the
greatest salmon river in the world,
the Fraser River. The Chinooks
return to spawn in their natal
stream or river against many dangers
and obstacles such as fishing
operations, hungry bears, rapids and
waterfalls. For some it will take
months to travel nearly 1300 km to
make it home where the final chapter
of their lives will unfold.
Wildlife filmmaker Leon Lorenz
dedicated eight spawning seasons to
capture some of the rarest and most
exciting scenes ever filmed on the
spawning grounds of this magnificent
fish. Watch close underwater
spawning action, huge Chinooks being
caught by bald eagles, grizzly and
black bears and see so much more in
this complex ecosystem. Fisheries
and Oceans Canada monitor and help
the salmon population through
various ways including test fishing,
fishery officers, counting, tagging
and hatchery operations.
The journey home for the Chinook
salmon wasn't easy and those that
spawned fulfilled their final
purpose in life. Man, animals,
birds, fish, trees, plants, insects
and microorganisms all benefit from
this very valuable renewable
resource, the Chinook salmon.
