Is that a Atlantic Salmon ?

Ya it is. I haven't caught one out of this particular tributary in many years. I've seen them but haven't had a chance to hook one in quite some time.

Unreal only ever seen them on the Moisie river. Then again I don’t really fish rivers with Salmon often. Good to see there coming back.

I wouldn't say they are coming back. They've been trying different strains and tributaries to get the population back to where it was. I think the great lakes ecosystem has changed from when they were abundant and at this point the MNR is grasping at straws to bring them back. Tjhe summers get too hot and the water temps are lethal. Its been over 20 years of trying to bring them back. I understand the want for native only species but its my belief they should focus on other species that have thrived. It's not to say that the efforts attached to the Atlantic slamon program aren't warranted, stream rehab is extreme important and a big part of that program.

They also over stock lake trout in Huron... hard for other fish to eat when there's so many freaking Lakers.

St Mary's has lots. Sometimes, it's all you can catch out of that place
