There is a lot of speculation as to whether salmon do or do not feed in freshwater on their spawning run, but the common belief is that they do not. They will jump, splash, and roll to break up their egg skeins and sperm sacks pre spawn, they will porpoise to clean/flush their gills of debris Or to even look at their environment (which might especially appear /mistaken to be feeding activity) and they will violently splash or go flying in the air if they have parasites or hooks stuck in them.Chinook! Great to know, guys, thanks for the clarity. So they eat at night like that huh? I was so taken aback by one that was feeding right alongside where I was drifting my flies. Breathtaking creatures.
