Video: B.C. sockeye salmon run creates a beautiful spectacle

The early run of sockeye salmon is creating a beautiful spectacle as they travel up Yard Creek east of Sicamous.

Yard Creek near Malakwa is filling up with the distinctive red bodies of early-run sockeye salmon as they jostle for a good place to spawn.

The beautiful spectacle drew several onlookers who stopped their cars on the side of the road to watch the fish swim upstream.
