Every year, 20 million of them leave Scottish rivers and travel thousands of miles to Norway and Greenland to feed. I think the bigger puzzle is how do they find there way to Norway and Greenland?
They can be imprinted on their journey with the route they took but they have never been to the feeding grounds before.

I have thought about the salmon's journey for years without arriving at your now-obvious question. Nice work.
A corollary of your question is “Why do hatchery raised salmon mingle with returning wild salmon since the hatchers have never experienced the birth stream of the wilds?”

I would strongly suggest the movie “Salmon Fishing in The Yemen”.
Very funny !
