Chinook salmon have been seen making their way up Los Gatos Creek in Campbell. This is all part of their late fall run, which is taking place a little early this year thanks to recent storms. … Experts say salmon numbers have been increasing in recent years. “The numbers year-over-year have been increasing,” South Bay Clean Creeks Coalition Executive Director Steve Holmes said. “When we first started, we’d see a couple dozen fish and that was it. As we’ve been working to clean the waterway, we’ve seen incrementally the numbers increasing.”
