Perhaps someone did some seeding of eggs on their own a few years ago.

Im not a fisheries biologist, just a dirt forester, but it could be that while a large majority of salmon make it back to their original waters, a few may try someplace new, for whatever reason....

Probably Nature's way of preventing overcrowding.

Here's an interesting site with some real nice photos from BC on salmon migration:

The mention of magnetic fields makes me wonder if that area of magnetic disturbance around the mouth of the St lawrance is what keeps the salmon in Big-O - Today and the AS hundreds of years ago.

It also makes me think about Fishtix's "Black Box" as all electric fields have an associated magnetic field about them.
