Salmon River by ljmanning

Salmon River

This is the Salmon River in Truro, Nova Scotia, which flows into the Bay of Fundy, home of the highest tides on Earth. Twice a day, a tidal bore occurs here. A tidal bore is a phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave of water that travels up a river or narrow bay, reversing the direction of the river or bay's current. We just happened to get here shortly before the expected bore, so stayed to watch. It was quite a weak one due to the moon’s phase, but still very interesting.
Homeward bound tomorrow!
Nice narrative. I’ve never heard it before. Do salmon use the river?

It must be fascinating to see. There is a tidal bore her in the UK on the River Severn.

Lovely shot. I’ve never heard of a tidal bore. So very interesting. To a fisherman, that would make it necessary to change your position in a hurry.
