This year and next year are traditionally lower for returning numbers of salmon to spawn but there are still salmon to be seen. Usually the salmon return during the first 3 weeks of October with Thanksgiving being the peak weekend. There have been a few sightings of a number of sockeye in the Adams River recently (up to 6 at a time) on the part of the river along the path on the way to the Adams River Bridge (near the Roderick Haig-Brown sign on the rock). There are also Chinook spawning in the river right now. There is also Pink Salmon spawning here in September, but only on odd years. Coho will arrive after the sockeye in late October and early November.
Smaller Formats. This year the Society will be offering free interpretive tours in the park by Celia Nord on Wednesdays and Sundays until October 17 at 10am, 12:30pm and 3pm. She will also be doing tours on Thanksgiving weekend (Saturday, Sunday and Monday) at the same times. The tours are based out of the log cabin in the main parking lot at Roderick Haig-Brown Park.
The Adam's River Salmon Society are also hosting an paddle event at the mouth of the river for BC River's Day on September 30th. For more information on the paddle event, 2014 will be the next dominant run at the Adam's River where the Society hosts the Salute to the Sockeye Festival. The dominant run is every 4 years with the sub-dominant run following in 2015.
Make Kamloops a part of your travel plans this fall and to see this world famous Sockeye Salmon Run, where the Sockeye Salmon will once again return home to the Adams River. The Adams River is located between the Adams Lake and Shuswap Lakes, about a 40 minute drive from Kamloops. The crimson salmon are easily seen in the river at the Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park where viewing platforms and walking paths have been established for many visitors to enjoy this natural attraction.

Very nice, makes a great abstract.
Kathy Bassett replied:
Thank you Bryan! It's tough to get a true image from the surface during these events, so abstract hopefully conveys....!
