The spring run of Chinook salmon enters the Columbia River 

 in February and March. It is the finest salmon that swims. The 

 flesh is bright pink in color and stored full of fat. The Chinook 

 is a salt water fish and takes no food from the time it enters fresh 

 water. The stomach gradually grows smaller until it literally 

 shrivels up. The fat that is stored up in salt water is the fuel of 

 the body during the long migration to the headwaters. 



Although the Chinook takes no food in fresh water, yet it is 

 a surprising fact that a large number of these fish are caught by 

 trolling. No one knows just why the salmon below the falls at 

 Oregon City takes a whirling spinner. Some people think the 

 fish strikes merely from habit or as reflex action, while others 

 think that the fish gathered in large numbers below the falls are 

 annoyed and strike in the spirit of anger.
