I grew up in the Seattle area and every so many years the rivers would overflow. I remember watching the salmon swim across the road during those years. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.

Those vids have been around for a few years...YouTube "salmon crossing road"... they do it every year. That one was just the most recent...some of them show some serious numbers in the roadway.

Thanks Bill! I wish I could take credit for that photo but it was sent to me by a fly fishing friend on Facebook that lives in Oregon! It is a Coho salmon and yes it was released back to the river after getting to the other side of the road!!!!
Tight lines and screaming reels to everyone!!
