Great Article on Salmon River

This was passed along to me by one of my good fishing buddies. One number that really hit home is the amount of fish taken in the 2 yr time period of the study. Would love to see it c&r only for steelhead,trout and Atlantic.

Good article. It is my experience as well after fishing that river for the last 12 years that I have seen the population of steelhead decline over the last two seasons. I have read articles on the theory of the Thiamine deficiency in the Steelhead due to a kill off of the Alewives from long harsh winters in '14 and '15. Lets hope the river rebounds after the 2-3 year old fish start coming back.

I do agree that it should be a catch and release river for all Steelhead, Browns and Atlantics. Although, I believe that is generally the norm outside of the Salmon Season.

It just seems like 8k+ fish harvested is a very high number even over a 2 year study period.

This year seemed to have started out slow but some of the pictures of fish I have seen is promising.

I live in syracuse and don't even want to fish there anymore. The past 6 times ive been there I haven't even seen a steelhead.
