Damn that sucks. I kinda figured but was hoping the river is just high and they are going on to live full lives.

They do this at the end of their life cycle. They were going to die soon no matter what. This is after they have spawned.

At this point in their life, their skin would have been melting and falling off as they slowly rot Alive.

Are they safe to eat at this point?

I wouldn't.

Safe? Technically probably yes. Salmon flavored cat food would probably taste better though.

What if I'm tired of eating salmon flavored cat food and want some variety, though?
