People Touring Nimbus Fish HatcherySalmon undergo several dramatic physical changes during their upstream journey. Their skin changes from bright silver to dark gray or red, their reproductive organs develop, their digestive system shrinks, and the male develops a hooked jaw. Although salmon will strike various lures and baits, they are no longer able to digest food, so they survive by using their stored body fat. They die shortly after spawning. Steelhead continue to feed during their upriver journey and may return to spawn several times in their life. The above text is from California Department of Fish & Game Web site.
