Everyone knows that salmon are capable of making amazing journeys by swimming upstream for extended periods.<\/p>\n
However, some of the fish have been caught taking this to the extreme and trying to cross a rain-soaked road.<\/p>\n
It happened in Mason County, Washington, after a heavy downpour left water levels increased by two inches.<\/p>\n
Not happy with trying to navigate a street, the intrepid travellers also seemed to have an understanding of the Green Cross Code, as they stopped for advancing traffic.<\/p>\n
Professional fisherman Conway Bowman told the Huffington Post that this can happen if it is spawning season.<\/p>\n
It appears that so randy are the fish that they are willing to sacrifice everything in order to make sure they get to their destination.<\/p>\n
I'm not sure what is more impressive, the fact salmon can swim over roads, or that they have the sense to look left and right before doing so.<\/p>\n
