The Beavers wake up the loudness of salmon banging against the dam. Dag sees the salmon as a threat and makes attempts to get rid of them. All fail. Norb, knowing the salmon are just trying to go upstream to spawn, makes peace with them.

---

Tropes featured in the episode:

• Always a Bigger Fish: There are a few salmon that look the size of groupers! A couple even try to eat Dag!
• Babies Ever After
• Comically Missing the Point: The beavers see a news report explaining how the salmon can't get upstream because there's something blocking their path:

Dag: Wow, what a dump. Norb: Dag, that's our house. Dag: Cool! We're on TV!

• Face Palm: Norb, upon seeing Dag's salmon disguise.
• Fun with Acronyms: Dag thinks "Spawn" stands for "Smashing Property and Whomping Norb".
• Freeze-Frame Bonus: The "Beaver's Natural Enemies" chart, that Norb shows Dag, is only on camera for two seconds, but the chart includes such ridiculous things like "blood-thirsty voles" and "vicious banana slugs".
• A God Am I: Dag, when thinking he's defeated the salmon with the cement:

"Hail to me! Daggett! Ruler of the river! Viva La Beaver!"

• Minor Injury Overreaction: A twig lands on Dag's head. He acts like he got hit with a baseball bat several times.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: Dag's salmon costume. Even has a price tag on it.
• The Talk
• Took a Level in Badass: Dag attempts... but, fails.
• What the Hell, Hero?:

Norb: Did it EVER occur to you that filling the stream with cement might, possibly, maybe, have a bad effect on our dam? Like, say for example, TOTALLY DESTROYING IT?!
