sockeye salmon vs. Kokanee Salmon  - same species but very different strains.

Saw one caught by a young kid Monday afternoon in Oswego .  Almost pulled him over the railing  :o :o   Pretty acrobatic for a rainbow but like you said, they're a bit frisky in the late fall months

Gents,

Read my report from the Pequest on Saturday here:- http://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/index.php?topic=42420.15


Fall Spawning:- The runway that can be seen in the background of the 2nd and 3rd pics (from Saturday) leads to the hatchery. Mike went up there to look on Monday while fishing. He said there were some bruisers trying to get back to the hatchery just like at the Salmon River.  These must have been the ones releasing their eggs. He said a few were in the 8-10 lb range. Cool stuff and an education too! He slammed em yesterday too on a mix of flies and beads. Not as active on the beads though.

Here's some history of the Salmon River. It's natural environment was all but decimated and went from an abundance of fish (Atlantics) in the early 19th century to extinct by the turn of the 20th. Limited Rainbows and Browns remained in the early part of the 20th century and other species are stocked. Limited or no success for Salmonid stocking programs through to 1978 due to poor water quality (contamination) and sea lamprey predation. It's only been revived in the past 31 yrs. due to managed and organized efforts to abate the many obstacles that man created. So we have come full circle but many obstacles remain. However, we are reaping the benefits of what can be thought of as a successful plan. We need to preserve it for future generations.

Bulletin:- This just in...............An Entirely Synthetic Fish. I'm going to read tonight.

So far the book is about how a fledgling growing nation (America) caused extreme problems for the natural environment as it was becoming a world leader. The expansion of the nation brought many opportunities and challenges. Normal living took huge efforts to sustain life by hunting, fishing and working the landscape. Expansion created many jobs but also took it's toll on the land and in particular many rivers and the natural fisheries that existed. Industry was responsible for the decline. One crew of fish culturists visited the McCloud River in Northern California in 1872 looking for a solution to this decline of the fisheries of New England. This new fish culture was the artificial propagation of fish through manipulated means that had been tested and documented by several who experimented with the idea. More to come.
