The Spawning Channel is also known as the C.W. Young Side Channel, Englishman River Spawning and Rearing Channel. It's man-made, built originally in the 1990s and is responsible for producing up to 40% of the river's coho salmon, while also helping support steelhead, cutthroat trout, chum, chinook, and pink salmon to reproduce. Each species of salmon has a run there at different times of the year, like Pink salmon run in July and August, Chinook in September, and Chum and Coho peak from October through November.
