Was taking a stroll along the Nanaimo River estuary this morning watching the chum come in on the high tide when I came across this unfortunate sight at the end of Raines Rd. At first, I thought it was just the carcasses of filleted chums until I saw all the fillets thrown in as well. There were also quite a few whole salmon that appeared to be just thrown away. Looked to be mostly chums, maybe a small coho or two, not sure. The fish all looked to be pretty fresh, not sure why they were dumped. Such a waste to think these fish couldn't have been given to somebody instead of being dumped. What gets me is why somebody did all the work of filleting the fish and then just threw them away as well.
