Salmon begins their lives in stream beds. After their eggs hatch, they mature in the streams for varying amounts of time before migrating to the Pacific Ocean to mature. They return to freshwater to spawn as mature adults. We fish for salmon when they are just coming off the ocean, but well before they are at the mouth of the river.
