Sasquatch and salmon

[joppa]

I've took a break from online endeavors for awhile and have quietly focused on my local research areas in the mid-south. I've tried to work out the what is the primary diet for Sasquatch ( bear food it seems ) but I'm curious why there aren't more reports of Sasquatch taking advantage of the Salmon runs on the West Coast from Northern California to Alaska. if I was a hungry squatch I would be whacking bears out of the way to get at those 10 pound steel heads and cohos !

So what gives ? Are they night fishermen ? Are we dismissing all the carrion leftovers as only bear leavings ? Where are all the muddy creek side and riverside footprints ? You would think that if the Northwest was covered up with Sasquatch they would be eating Salmon by the bushel. Why would a carnivore which must have enormous caloric needs not be partaking of this incredible bounty ? Or why aren't all the bright west coast researchers hanging around the creeks ? Bear phobia ?

In the South I have seen evidence of hefty eating of frogs, snakes, crawfish and freshwater mussels that I can't always attribute to Bears or rednecks, and if we had salmon down south then I would think that they would be prime Squatch food.

Unless there is a Secret Sasquatch Salmon Stream where they all gather outside Vancouver every year then I must conclude that they are very stealthy fishermen, exceedingly more rare than we think or believe or they just don't like fish .

Joppa, some hink the hooded nose means they're good swimmers. Maybe the don't associate with the riverbanks the way bears do. Perhaps they fish using their supposedly ability to swim?

probably more of a numbers thing. Fish at night (and there are some reports of just that) in areas where people are not normally. No people on a huge stretch of river = no sightings of squatch fishing
