Salmon will return to their hatching place to spawn. A single group of salmon may travel hundreds of miles back to the river of their birthplace, hopping over waterfalls, swimming upstream until they get to the place where they hatched. They will then mate and lay eggs, beginning into being another cycle of leaving and returning to spawn. This journey is very dangerous, due to bears waiting at the top of waterfalls to catch the returning salmon.

Do all Lake Michigan salmon die after spawning?
Yes, most salmon species that inhabit Lake Michigan, such as Chinook and Coho salmon, die after spawning. This phenomenon, known as semelparity, is common among Pacific salmon, as they expend significant energy during the spawning process. After laying their eggs, the fish typically succumb to exhaustion, stress, and the physiological changes that occur during reproduction. However, some may survive for a short period post-spawning, but they generally do not live long afterward.
