As an side the spawning usually takes place in small low land streams. Those streams are typically low-gradient and on many a man can step or jump across the stream.

Curt,

I'm not doubting what you're saying here.

I heard that in late summer early fall they're in the river systems and by the first big rain they hit the creeks. Do they hang out in the creeks until later in the winter and early spring before they spawn? Or are they just following the salmon and feed on the eggs? Or is my understanding wrong???
