As juvenile salmon swim toward the Hood Canal Bridge, they come upon floating pontoons. Since the fish don’t go deep enough to swim underneath of the structure, they’ll naturally follow the pontoon looking for a break but due to the shape of the pontoons, they meet a 90-degree angle – which look like a wall – causing them to turn around and start all over again.
