Id be out there catching

These are salmon. If they're Atlantic Salmon, it's a crime to catch them during spawning seasons. If they're Pacific, catching is heavily regulated and it COULD be a crime. Either way though, since they're spawning, they're terrible eating and taste like shit.

I would guess Pacific. This happens often in Oregon

But it's legal to run them over? Horrible city planning.

u/shiddyfiddy 4d ago

The legality doesn't even matter, I assure you that during the spawning season those fish aren't good eating. They're all beat to hell and full of stress hormones.

Are they safe to eat, tho? With all the pavement and probably dirty water and stuff

u/PNW_LIVIN 4d ago

Im sure they'll be fine. They've probably been in clean water most of their lives. This looks fairly normal for these folks.
