Original Toronto Star caption: Salmon fight the credit. Although most freshwater fish spawn in spring; Lake Ontario's coho and chinook salmon can't forget they are originally from the sea; and go upriver to die in the fall. It's quite a sight these days on rivers and streams to see them battle dams and white water. These two leap 4-foot dam on Credit at Streetsville.
