The Suquamish Tribe of Washington is holding its annual salmon give-away.

People lined up on Monday for free fish from the tribe's Grovers Creek Hatchery. Those who didn't get one were advised to come back later, the Associated Press reported.

The give-away comes as the chum salmon return to area streams for their annual migration. The tribe is tracking the fish and expects to see about 450,000.
