I just received a letter from the California Department of Fish and Game
Salmon tagging program [got to love the line: Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Governor] [had to add that to the spell checker as well].

On 10/26/2003 I caught and released a 31 inch "Tagged" Salmon on
the Trinity River, I clipped the $10 reward tag off and sent it in [tag not
salmon that is]. According to their records the salmon was tagged on
09/24/2003 some 27 miles down stream. Hmm, roughly a mile a day -
this guy was not in a rush to die it seems.

For some reason, I always envisioned salmon on a mad dash upstream,
flying at full throttle. Silly me.
