if god were not a tar heel, then why are valium, viagra, and this
bizarre fish meat, *carolina blue*?

Because tar heels are hyper, have limp dicks, and will eat anything
labeled "meat"? g

Salmon eat nothing once they come into fresh water: some people
believe that
most salmon are snagged because it is impossible for them to eat after
they
have been in fresh water for a day or so.

My son Andy caught a Silver salmon last year on the Skagit above
Rockport that had a skulpin and a half digested whitefish in it's
stomach. I've found that the fish quit feeding as they get close to
spawning, but that it's not necessarily related to when they enter the
rivers. The same is true of the change from ocean coloration to
spawning colors. Andy's fish was ocean bright, but had no sea lice.
That indicates he'd been in the river a few days. Considering that
he'd come more than 70 miles upstream in a big river that makes sense.
The fish was caught in October, and the fish was probably going to
spawn in November or December.

It's rare to find anything in a salmon or steelhead's stomach, but it
does happen. Deschutes and Kalama steelhead often have a stomach full
of grasshoppers or stonefly nymphs.

I once had a guy butcher a salmon and show me that the esophogus(sp?) was
swollen shut. According to him, this is supposed to happen whithin a day or
so after a salmon enters fresh water. I'm not a fish biologist, and
sometimes I'm too ready to accept other peoples theories. But hae seemed
honest and knowledgeable.

I think this is natures way of preventing the spawning salmon
from depleting the food supply needed for their offspring, or
preventing them from eating the eggs. The bodies of the spawned
salmon also provide a tremendous amount of material to the food
chain.

Being honest and knowledgeable doesn't make one right. I've cleaned
quite a few of those guys this year who had more than a day or two in
the fresh water. The esophadus(sp!) was closed as it is in all fish,
but when I tried to pull out the gills my finger would slide easily
into the esophagus. It's not swolen shut. The stomach seems to
shrink, but that's because it's empty. You find the same thing in any
fish that hasn't eaten for a day.

I caught a 20 inch chromer on the feather (hundreds and hundreds of
miles from the ocean) in january and someone suctioned his stomach, and
he had a TON of mayflies in him, like 20.

Damn -- let's hear those cheeseheads blather on about the size of
their Hexagenia after they see a hundred pound mayfly.

something good to turn up.
