A trout? Did you just call me a trout?

Time for another installment of Name that Fish! This is an easy one…

This handsome fella, who is not a trout, spends part of the year in Northwestern saltwater and then heads for rivermouths in the spring to munch on out-migrating salmon smolt. He and his kind then typically follow spawning salmon upriver to munch on eggs and then (yuck) rotting carcasses.

It’s a busy life — do a little eating here, a little eating there. Migrate back and forth between fresh and saltwater and, oh yea, mix a little fishy fornication in there as well.

Who am i?
