Hi lonehunter and all,
lou's got a point. I guess we know how old a lot of salmon and steelhead are on the west coast at least! Kinda neat how some of the guys spawn on staggered years in the same stream (man that's traffic control), how some spawn, don't die and go back out to sea, how some come back to the stream but are still too young to spawn. Kinda confusing. One salmonoid in Hokaido, Japan lives in freshwater and swims out and spawns in the ocean.
Did anyone just ask 'em politely how old they are?
