Men often feel they are being cheated of their special interests when on vacation. While busily sightseeing and trying to keep the wife and kids happy with shopping and amusement parks, they tend to miss their fishing and hunting-oriented activities. Trips to the Capilano Fish Hatchery near Vancouver, BC will more than make up for any of those feelings. The Capilano Fish Hatchery is part of the Capilano River Regional Park, which also happens to be a great tourist attraction. The hatchery is something the children will enjoy as well. This fish hatchery produces over 3 million salmon each year. How many children can truthfully say they've ever seen a salmon? They'll be the envy of their class with their picture of live salmon for "show and tell". If you're fast enough, you can get some great pictures of the salmon jumping out of the water.
They also have huge display aquariums as well as adult fishponds. The sound of the water flowing over the dam as you walk the edges over the Capilano River Suspension Bridge will have you loving the outdoors. This is such a beautiful site; you'll want many pictures to take home.
While inside the hatchery, you'll see a glassed wall showing the different steps it takes the salmon to get from the wild to where they come upstream to spawn. You'll get to watch how they get from one place to another, or jump from one area to the next. While this place might not be on your list of places you have to see, you'll definitely be glad you stopped by.
