No, not now. This is just a question that I've had trouble answering.
Do all of the salmon in our rivers spawn at the same time?
By this I mean, do the springers we see now wait it out till fall to spawn? I realize that some fish come into the river system early and some come late but I've been told that there really is only one run and that they all spawn about the same time.
Any truth to this? The hatchery in Oroville is packed solid with fresh salmon that are not ready to spawn. The Dept. of Water Resource people have tagged several thousand of these already and put them back into the river to ripen up some more. The funny thing is they turn right around and come right back up the ladder because they have nowhere else to go.
Any thoughts out there guys?
