I'm Charlie!
And I'm Greg!
Somewhere on the coast of the PNW...
Lived a group of Chinook salmon. Two of which were friends named Charlie and Greg.
Greg and Charlie love to eat fish. One of Pacific Salmon's favorite foods is Amphipoda or ray-finned fishes.
Suddenly the group of Salmon had an overwhelming urge. . . An internal feeling was sending them toward the river.
The Chinook began swimming toward the river. Unbeknownst to them, external instincts were leading them to the first step of spawning.

The surface of the water though posed an unseeable threat to their mission. Fishermen were setting out gillnets, right in the path of Greg and Charlie's group.
The net came down so quickly that some of the Chinook group was unable to react.
Hey Harry, what do you think about searching for Some fish?

Luckily Greg and Charlie were able to evade the net.

After such a long day, the Chinook school decided to rest for a couple of hours.

A few hours later. . .
On a nearby island, a few Harbor Seals belonging to the Pinniped group decided they were a bit hungry.
I think that's a great idea!
The two seals jumped into the water.
Hey, Did anybody hear a splash?
WATCHOUT!!
I don't think so?

Nice thinking Greg!Now we can keep heading towards the river.
Turns out, Greg did hear a splash. It was time to make a swim for it.
Where are we Greg? I've never seen this type of ground before?
I think we've made it to the river Charlie, this type of sediment is a tell tale sign. Lets keep going.
Wait a second Greg, why is everyone changing colors?
I have no idea Charlie! Why are you asking me !?Why would I know!?
With the ability to hide in a kelp forest, Greg and his buddies were able to escape Harry the Harbor Seal. With Harry gone they continued their journey towards freshwater.
WE JUST NEED TO KEEP GOING! WE'RE NEARLY THERE!
After one hour of swimming. . .
After reaching the river, the group of salmon decided to keep swimming up it.

A couple more hours of swimming passed and the group began changing colors. This is a telltale sign that the group of salmon is on its way to spawn. The aggressiveness coming from Greg is a sign as well.

Greg eventually yelled stating how the group needed to continue.

What Greg didn't know, was that they were all headed toward a hydroelectric dam.
These fish ladders were specifically designed to let salmon through the dam.
I don't think Im going to gover that Greg
Why not, It;s perfectly fine.Watch me.
Greg and the rest of the group jumped over.
However, some salmon arent able to go through and end up waiting behind.
See, Its perfectly fine. You've been a wuss ever since you've entered the river.
You know what Greg Im going to rest down here. You can keep going by your self.
Fine!
Without Charlie, Greg only had one thing on his mind: spawning. He could smell that this river was where he was born, Greg is almost there.
Without Charlie, Greg was becoming aggressive. This happens when salmon are ready to spawn, they're willing to drive away any potential predators.
Greg noticed a worm bobbing in the water. Out of spite he quickly snathed in his mouth.
But suddenly the worm began to snag him! Before he knew it he was yanked next to a boat. Greg began thrashing around trying to break free.
But it was no use, Greg was hauled up into the fisherman's boat. Outside of the water, Greg was helpless.
The abductors held Greg up and shined him with lights. After the haze, Greg eventually felt the water return to his gills.
Once Greg was released he took off, swimming away as fast as he could.
Greg zigzagged through the river, eventually, his sense of smell led him to where he was born.
This is where Greg's instincts led him.
Male salmon fight for the right to spawn. Greg, already impatient and aggressive was willing to fight.
After fertilizing the eggs, Greg began scooping rocks over the top of them. Salmon will do this to hide the eggs from predators.
