Now I'm pretty sure that a salmon's digestive system shuts down once they get ready to enter their natal stream but steelies, I'm not so sure. Last weekend amidst the high water and all I got a couple of winter brats. when I began to dress up the buck I noticed that he was "stuffed" with eggs. I'm guessing chum eggs judging by the size. Okay, I've seen this before, but after further examination of the stomach there was a band-aid, more eggs, and a about half of an aerofly. What's your theory on this? I thought it was worth posting.
