Peak of Fraser River sockeye run approaches, but rockslide still blocks path up river

Just 14,000 fish have been moved beyond the rockslide, but millions more are headed to the Fraser.

Usually the Fraser River flows free, but a rockslide has choked off a key portion of the river, preventing one of the world's largest salmon runs from migrating upriver to spawning grounds.
