Salmon run

Salmon run

The salmon run is the time at which salmon swim back up the rivers in which they were born to spawn. All Pacific salmon die after spawning. While most Atlantic salmon die after their first spawn, about 5-10% (mostly female) return to the sea to feed between spawnings. The annual run is a major event for sport fisherman.
