That was some kind of special heroquest that was supposed to bring the salmon back to the river they had disappeared from. There's something like that in King of Dragon Pass.
The Salmon Leap in the Irish "Cattle Raid of Cooley" saga is a compat technique, where the hero leaps high in the air like a salmon, so he can attack the opponent behind his shield.
