I hope someone is able to get this news to the salmon who have probably changed their habits over the last century.

MODERATORS
Salmon are genetically habitual. They regularly beat themselves to death on the concrete foundations of dams trying to climb up a river that isn't there, and have been doing so for a hundred years.
When the Elwha dam in Washington was removed, it took less than 3 years before the salmon run returned to the river upstream. It won't take much time at all.
That's good to know. I guess that's what thousands of years of doing the same thing will do to you.
Yep. They really can't do anything else.
They have been going up the river the whole time but stopped at the dams. Now they can go up to all the nooks and crannies farther up than previous.
Aren't there specific "Fish runs" and "Salmon runs" purposefully built to help fish migrate upstream ? Seems strange that ecological man-made structures would have been completely neglected during the entirety of the construction and management of the river(s).
