Pretty cool to see. They come up through Burnaby Lake.

Those chum look better than what I've seen some people keep out of the Stave.
Wouldn't surprise me if those poor fish disappeared overnight. :-\

That is amazing.  To see that in a large city; wow just goes to show what a great city we live in.

Really awesome to see.. 

Looking at the map posted, looks like they came up from the Fraser to Deer Lake and beyond to Cornett St and Natal Rd (where the video was filmed).  Is that correct?

Up the Fraser then up the Brunette then through Burnaby lake into Still creek.

years and years ago there were a number of creeks in Vancouver that used to have salmon including one from trout Lake into Burrard inlet and a number in False creek but development destroyed most.
