Salmon was a major catch during spawning season when the salmon would be swimming upriver.

Although his science background tells him otherwise, Jones has faith that the salmon will instinctively swim upstream-a faith the sheikh finds ironic.

An outlet led directly to the river, and large trout and river-dwelling salmon had swum upstream into the lake.

These salmon, after returning from their short life at sea, swim into the lakes and their contributing streams to spawn.

Another issue was that salmon could not swim upstream through Storforsen, and this made the fishing downstream good.

During October through November, salmon swim up the creek in order to reproduce.

From here, the salmon swim along a foot-wide pipe to the processing plant.

Steelhead and salmon swam the rivers.

"If salmon could swim in it, I wouldn't have much fear," Ms. Rowan said.
