Pfffft. I've canoed across the road in my neighborhood before and carried fish
back to the canal after the water receded and left them stranded in my yard.

That's cool. It's still interesting to see salmon swimming across a road so
pffft right back at you.

It's obviously photoshopped,
I can tell by the ride height of the truck relative to the moon this time of
year.

Haha! Good one! I like it.
It's a screen shot I took of the YouBoob video. The video is better. After the
truck goes past the camera there are a few more salmon scooting across the
street the other direction and then a couple more going back the other way. I
don't think they know where they're going, they're just going till they get
there.

Are you sure they are not Snake-heads.

Snake-heads have a dorsal fin that runs the length of the back.

This was in Washington and the fish & game laws are similar to Oregon.
Unless you're member of an Indian tribe the only legal way to catch salmon is
with a hook and line using bait or lures. Nets, traps and even bare hands are
illegal.

Maybe they are just programmed to swim against the flow, and don't understand
what a flood is.
Determined fish those salmon.
I noticed bears don't waste time eating the flesh because they are only
interested in the fatty parts. And with so many to choose from at spawning time
why not? You could get a good feed picking up what the bears leave behind, is
that legal? Or aren't bears that common that far south?

Oh yeah, plenty of bears around here. ODFW estimates 1 bear per sq mile in the
wooded areas (which is most of the NW) but oddly we don't see too many out there
fishing. They mostly go for landfills and garbage cans in the populated areas
and they are becoming more of a nuisance. So are cougars and coyotes lately.
Every year there are increasing reports of them getting into yards in the
outskirts of the bigger cities. By the time the salmon are ready to spawn they
are often too "red" to eat, meaning their color turns reddish and are
close to expiring and the meat isn't any good at all. During migration/spawning
people try to catch them as they head up stream just before they get to that
"too red" point. I wouldn't want to eat a bear's leftover salmon.
That's for the other wild animals, birds, coons, etc.
