DO SALMON FEED IN FRESH WATER 1 ici 



casionally begin to run much earlier in some 

 years than in others, but I have never heard of 

 one being caught before April. I think the fore- 

 going remarks sufficiently explain the reason why 

 grilse differ from adult salmon in their habits 

 on entering fresh water. Doubtless we might 

 gather some information on this interesting subject 

 by taking notes of the temperature of the water 

 in various rivers year by year just at the time 

 when grilse are running. Should it turn out to 

 be a fact that they never attempt to leave the 

 sea until the fresh water has risen in temperature 

 to a certain height, we should have corroborative 

 proof of the effect which the temperature of the 

 water has on their movements generally. 



DO SALMON FEED IN FRESH WATER? 

 It is a very rare occurrence to find food in the 

 stomach of a salmon, and therefore it is generally 

 believed that salmon do not feed in fresh water.
