it's a bit cold here right now, but in summer this is my favorite swimming spot

That is amazing. I've never seen salmon do that before.

i googled it and can't find much being said about it. it's either something not many people know, or, it's common for fish. not sure which

Whenever I see crazy nature stuff like this and immediately go "oh yeah, that´s a real evolutionary advantage." I hate myself and think about the cool stories mythological people would come up with when seeing stuff like this.

the local Noongas probably have a story about it
