Cast your bread upon the waters..

..and it will return to you ten-fold.
Salmon,like most bloggers,are driven by an undeniable urge to procreate.Returning each year to the place of their birth to propogate the species,and die.
So,all you really have to do is build a hatchery for the tasty little fellas,turn them loose after a bit,and you'll get a steady stream of prodigal son's and daughters rushing home to roost...Brilliant!

The Feather River,a few hundred yards downstream from the overflow. The Overflow...The Salmon must make it up this point to reach the hatchery,helping to ensure that only the fittest make it to the dinner table.The Ladder...They still have to climb this route for about a mile.Observation room...A brief rest.
The Hatchery itself was closed to the public today.That's where the eggs are removed from the female,and fertilized...

Your moment of Zen..

a rotten deal for the salmon but a sweet deal for the bears.

is there a nice spot in the river for the bears to feed on the soon to expire salmon?

Are you a salmon fisher? Fisher o' salmon? Sharer of salmon you fished fer?

I come from the Land that Prides Itself on Spring Fed Trout Streams and, privately, am surprisingly happy that I know nothing about anything because trout just makes me cringe. Salmon, however, is totally worth doing some ass kissing for. I mean. IF you share.

The Rube- I don't think there are any bears hereabouts,but I didn't think there were any deer,and there were 2 in the park across the street last week.
Also,it seems to me that all that Salmon is just way too big a bounty to go unnoticed by large carnivorous types.

monica- ..just part of the natural wonder that is O-Town!

citymouse- I thought I had better issue an advisory,still,I was pretty sure you would peek!

lorraine- The Salmon seem to enjoy it.

doralong- Grilled,smoked,I don't care...I love it!

booda baby- I have never fished for Salmon.The hatchery gives it away freely though,and I'm always happy to share.

rosie- I understand that the males are the ones that get all bright red when they're horny..er..sexually mature..

You know, I've had a taste for a big mess of salmon and mashed potatoes. This pretty confirmed it. I mean, really, who doesn't want to get some after watching salmon porn?

I dunno...I get a lot of blog hits for 'hagfish' but none for 'salmon'.
What am I doing wrong?

for some reason that brought back a long buried memory from about 1969...a bartender named dirty larry asked me if i wanted a beer..and i said 'do fish fuck?'...and he said 'actually no..the female lays the eggs and the male comes along and jacks off on them...'put me right off my beer..
