Preston, Something else new to learn. I guess old dogs can learn new tricks.

All of the Cherry Salmon I saw in Kamchatka were so small (2 to 5 pounds) making me think that they spawn only once before dying, but I did not see a huge amount of them in the rivers I was on when I was in Kamchatka.

And I defintely saw spawned out and dying Cherry's on the shorelines occassionally.

From what the Russsian told me it sounds like the rivers in Kamchatka that host Cherry Salmon usually do not get very large runs of them.
