Yeah.Threads do that sometimes.
Take a turn in direction.
I recall that article Fish F.
So much for predictions.
I'd give optimistic predictions too if it keeps the cash flow coming.
And they have done a beautiful job maintaining the Credit.
Have seen Major changes.Have fished the Erindale stretch before they had paved lots.
At least a bit of the program money has been beneficial.

"Last fall, biologists found a dark green fry nosing around a narrow tributary in the Credit’s headwaters. DNA tests showed it was the offspring of one of the released fish"

 

"Though less than half of the watershed is forested, there are more trees now than there were a century ago."

 

"He says they’ve planted more than 400,000 trees"

 

"fish counts have recorded more Atlantic salmon coming up through the Streetsville fish ladder to spawn every year, starting with 49 in 2008, 80 in 2009 and an estimated 200 last year. He’s predicting between 500 and 800 spawners this year"

So you're saying theres a chance....... they just need to keep their head down and keep up the good work. Mob mentality has taken effect and i'm not sure any measure of success will change the minds of the masses.

 

Natives are king.

Very true. I would imagine this summer has been brutal for them unfortunately. But this is also one of the hottest and driest summers on record. So if anything this summer should be the litmus test.

Mob mentality well earned.
For not being forthcoming.
When questioned on results to date of counted returns.
They reply their not in the return phase of program yet.
BRING BACK THE SALMON
But they don't check what, or if any are coming back. Lol
So they claim.

if they put even 5% of the cash theyd dropped on atlantics into steelhead wed have a great fishery and wouldn't be saying where are the fish. once atlantics start being stocked in the ganny steelhead will be forgotten about. It seems they only want to drop money on atlantics and lakers because they are native to the great lakes, steelhead, browns  coho Chinook and pink are all introduced species so no one seems to care about them anymore. all you have to do is look at the US steelhead where they stock heavily have great returns and can support a put and take fishery. The amount of fisherman taking fish for meat and eggs is massive compared to the 80s and 90s where they was less pressure and more fish.

If you support the atlantic program you need to give your head a shake and look deeper into what is really happening to our fragile fishery.

Darrin

 

atlantics did not become extinct because of species introduction, Its because of pollution, de forestation and high water temperatures. Sure the lake is a bit less polluted but headwaters and lower sections are urbanized water temperatures remain high, no trees for shade or bank stabilization. Why would they make a comeback under basically the same conditions in which they became extinct

 

I understand what you are saying, but realize that the Atlantic program has benefits for all migratory fish, not just salmon. If it weren't for the "bring back the salmon" program, there would be little to no funding for things like habitat restoration or fish counting technology.  These next few years will be the last attempt to restore the Atlantic fishery, but steelhead, browns and coho/chinook will continue to benefit long after it's over.  Maybe then they will start to put more resources into the next best thing -- trout!

 

I like to look at the glass as half full ;)

I dont think you all should continue any more discussion on this thread regarding fish stocking.

Whenever I see a post here, I expect to see fish. NOT a discussion.

Please guys create another thread and discuss it there.

I have not been posing lately but I do come online and check to see and look at whats happening.

Lots of fishes are in some rivers since 2 weeks now. Needs some pics guys

So who has some fresh pics of fish for us???

@tossing iron : If the administrators wanted to create another photo thread, they would have closed this one a long time ago.

They left it opened for a reason.To flash back the memorable moments of fish catching and excitement.
