This is important business, Bob.

I mean I know they can swim but it's not drowning that kills ya when you go over a waterfall it's the impact.

Salmon swim up the waterfall.

CTE. Julie and bernstein don't appreciate you making light of it.

Not sure about Niagara Falls, but dams have fish elevators or escalators or something built in.

I have no idea what this thread is about.

It's about fish.

Most survive the hard journey over the falls, sometimes laying stunned for a few minutes at the bottom before continuing their journey down the river.

Since water is the natural habitat for fish and they are much more buoyant than we are, going over the falls isn’t much different for them as an elevator is for us. Most of the time the fish stays in the water as it heads over the falls, and the foam at the bottom acts as a cushion for them. They can withstand a large amount of pressure before it will cause any injury to them. The pool at the bottom of the Falls is about 150 feet deep so most of the time they aren’t forced to the river bed. Their biggest threat when going over the Falls isn’t the fall itself but the seagulls waiting at the bottom to pluck the stunned fish out of the water before they get the chance to recover.

Also I would recommend not chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.

If I'm a lethargic beaver, I'm following this thread very closely. This is some good intel.

If you are a fish near a waterfall and you don't figure out how to deal with it, then you are a dead fish. Also I would recommend not chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.
