I don't think it would hurt to close a few sections of rivers/creeks that have the best areas for reproduction.

The raceway was loaded with fish and the ladder was full too. Was there on Saturday. They start collecting eggs today

I visited the Altmar hatchery over the weekend. The raceway is full the whole length of Coho & Chinooks. They start stripping eggs tomorrow the 13th. However there were very few fish being caught in the Oswego river. As a side note: I spoke with a biologist that does testing on all the Great Lakes and he said " all these fish are fully loaded with bad stuff and suggested not eating them". I guess the water isn't as clean as we thought it was. I should have picked his brain a bit more

I'll be in Oswego on the 10th of October if there's any interest

If you get down Rt 17 in Sullivan County NY, stop in Roscoe “Trout Town USAâ€, at Roscoe Beer Co. You won’t be disappointed.

You could also contact Krenzers Marine in Sodus. They sell Venture trailers at a very good price.

Not sure what the target was but there were a few nets set out in front of Oswego, a few weeks ago, during the loc

Remember too that (so they say) only 10-15% survive to adulthood

I'm wondering if the feds would shut the sr down, if returns are not high enough to gather eggs?

I agree. Either become a member of one of these fine groups or donate $$ to the net pen projects. If the feds could open up and protect more spawning grounds, that would be a great step forward to more repro

They say natural reproduction is at about 40%. Instead of building more hatcheries, why not add fish ladders to rivers and streams, like the Oswego river? There was talk about it several years back but that went away as soon as it was mentioned

I suggested the same, just a few weeks ago. Slot

I agree Rich. Enjoy the moment
