Furthermore, it’s the reason that salmon at that stage are a sought after delicacy: the flesh itself is more tender as it is decaying in a unique, stable process during the migration upstream, and makes for a completely different flavor and texture.
No offense, but that opinion is clearly uneducated or misinformed; the sheer numbers that die en route from genetic inferiority completely dwarf the combined numbers of those taken by predators along the way — including humans. Furthermore, fishing for salmon during their spawning season is as much a test of an angler’s skill as it is about their wilderness survival fluency. Every single predator in that biome is out for salmon if they can get it, and many of them give little to no fucks at all about disemboweling the competition — including humans. Couple that with the fact that the male salmon have a singular, monosyllabic purpose and it’s mostly the females that are taking in food at any opportunity (unless you fashion a bait ball of salmon eggs for the males to instinctively destroy as a threat), and you’ve got yourself one helluva challenge on several fronts.
What are you even talking about? They are mushy and stinky and yes it is an ecological detriment to take salmon on their way to spawn.
Depending on where you are, you might be interfering with a federally listed endangered salmon population. Just because you saw a whole buncha salmons one time doesn’t mean they’re all doing fine. And are you trying to imply you fought off bears to get your hands on some stinky old, nearly dead salmon on their way to further the species? 😂 😭 😂
For the second year in a row, all commercial and recreational salmon fishing in California will be closed for the 2024 season in order to let the salmon population recover. On Wednesday, the Pacific Fishery Management Council voted unanimously to cancel salmon fishing season off the California and Oregon coasts, which was scheduled to begin next month.

Are there restrictions? I’d think it’s a bad time to catch them right before they mate, if we’re trying to keep population levels up.

Thank you for being a dick over a simple question. Saying no offense doesn’t give you free license to be an ass.
No offense, but you are right.

Ok, but have you considered the ecological impact of farting glitter everywhere? Think of the microplastics!
Obviously I only fart biodegradable glitter! What do you take me for??
No offense, but you sound like a dick so I’m not reading all that.
Is everything okay at home
Wait, salmon has a season?
Bears know.
Salt & Pepper at the very least. Lemon juice is nice as well
