We had another good day at Mexico. Beautiful day to be on the water and we picked up a bonus Atlantic to go with the browns. Obviously the third fisherman took the photo.

wheres the pics of the atlantic? are you guys allowed to keep em down there? are you stocking them too or would that be a canadian fish?

the fish to the left is an atlantic salmon also referred to as a landlocked, yes we are able to keep up to 3 a day over 15 inches i believe. Also, here is a link to our hatcheries. Yes we do stock atlantics and that is why they are making a comeback. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/7742.html

yes, and thats where the one in the picture was caught as well. Here is some quality reading material. Im not sure if your MNR still is stocking them but they did start a socking program a few years after we did

ya theres some like winery place that sponsors the atlantic salmon program... theyre stocking them in a few of the creek up around cobourg an port hope. theyve put in over a million now (saw it on a commercial on wfn) lol.. never heard em called landlocks though... the landlocks are (i thought) in the finger lakes an lake memphramagog or whatever..

Yes they are often refered to as landlocks but they are the same thing

We have landlocked salmon aka Ouaniche sp? near North Bay, Ontario in Trout Lake as I recall. There is no season for them, and I believe there are also populations in Quebec and the Maritimes.

Historically it is my understanding that we had them run up the Salmon River as far as Forest Mills in the Bay of Quinte, with logging, mills largely believed to be part of the reasons for their demise. I have not read anything about the Moira or Napanee, or the Trent, but suspect that this is trackable in information.

The program near Markham is run in the Ringwood hatchery as I recall, with partners with an the Metro East Steelheaders, Australion winery, OFAH, and MNR on board. Given its historical significance, I am hopeful this will bear fruit, given their ability for multiple spawning runs and pound for pound a superior experience as I understand it.

Just a few notes. With the temperatures I am hearing about this weekend, I am thinking this will rapidly press a fast spawn.

Landshark,
I talked to Pete and we are tentative planning on heading down Wed. or Thursday. Hopefully we can get together. Also Atlantics need to be 25" which the one in the photo was but just barely. It was delicious!
