WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — The Tsilhqot'in National Government says river conditions are"slowly improving" after the massive landslide that temporarily dammed the Chilcotin River last month, but salmon spawning activity is being delayed.

The task force's latest situation report says observations from a helicopter show the river flow is"evening out," and murky conditions are getting better, though the flow is still much higher than normal. It says fish monitoring equipment has only detected 31 Chinook and 16 sockeye passing through the slide site at a time when thousands of sockeye should be moving through.
