Chilcotin Slide

One biologist reports over 500 sockeye above the slide.

From the recent footage, it appears much of the fish "barrier" has been alleviated:

(PS thats the last time I will ever spend any time finding and posting an article with a genuine attempt to answer your question)

Thank you.
You have become a very unpleasant person.
Hope you figure it out.

The river is looking great! About as good as could have been hoped for.

Report shows salmon numbers have slowed after B.C. landslide (msn.com)


Doomsaying aside, the data that can be pulled from the article makes it appear that the Sockeye run would normally just be starting now.
This kind of proves why I was questioning what does "a time when" actually means.

The main run is expected to start Next week. Not now nor last week....
The fish are getting through.
Optimism can be high...


"According to an update from the Pacific Salmon Commission on Friday, more than 500 sockeye have been spotted upstream of the slide — less than one-fifth of the approximately 2,664 sockeye researchers expected to arrive under normal migration conditions at this point in the run.

Researchers expect about 117,000 sockeye to attempt the run to Chilko Lake this summer.

Grout says the scale of the landslide's effect on salmon will become clearer next week when most of the sockeye are expected to make their way upstream.

That is correct.
The Chilcotin sockeye run usually doesn't hit that area in large numbers for a little while yet.
Just goes to show you one should not rely solely on media reports for correct information.

There is indeed some room for hope.

Fingers crossed.

Cheers
