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..
