The smell and erratic action of a live creek chub probably gives it a significant advantage over a lot of the baits that people drift

High water temps can reduce the survival rate of fish along with the effectiveness of catch and release, but it doesn’t seem to prevent salmonids from migrating and completing spawning runs. This is something that we’ve seen for decades with the Chinook salmon here. Given the low catch-rate of Atlantics out in open water (not just upstream), I would hazard a guess that high water temps is not what’s been causing the low returns up until now.

The prospect of having a decent Atlantic salmon population is more exciting if one understands the opportunity that it creates for shore fisherman during the Summer. Other species of migrating salmonids have overlapping runs, and are almost completely absent from rivers and areas near shore during the Summer months.

The reports collected by the CRAA indicate that they were quite a few, with some of the largest ones not seen at Streetsville. But even such larger numbers are not any good if they’re not able to naturalize. Given the lower returns in the subsequent years, I don’t think they’ve naturalized there at all

The numbers listed there are for adults captured and transferred at the Streetsville dam. The entire run of adult Atlantics on the Credit was a lot higher based the report data gathered by the CRAA. There were enough seen and caught that summer that it made it seem like the program was a success. In reality the fish weren’t able to naturalize, and the numbers have only gone down since then

Right now the biggest misconception that I see among anglers is the idea that the money would be put towards other species of migratory fish were it not for their Atlantic salmon program. People don’t realize that the program for the purpose of protecting native species, not improving fishing
