Interesting find today north Oshawa

[bigredfisher]

Hey I was taking a walk to check some bows out, did find lots but one thing I found was a pod of salmon .... And they weren't bows could see them very clearly . Has anyone ever seen this before??? I couldn't believe what I was seeing but it was salmon for sure

[bigredfisher]

And at that way north(Winchester rd)

[Twocoda]

Coho ? or lazy ole black chinnies that havent died yet?

[bigredfisher]

Light brown chinnies

[bigredfisher]

Looks like they ran up in the past 2 weeks

I do recall reading that the Georgian Bays do get a very small run of spring Chinooks. I understand that they get both spring and fall runs in B.C.

 

Did you happen to notice if they had adipose clips?

maybe there is some validity to the story i heard yesterday

[GNODDY]

Possibly Atlantics?

[Michael_Brown]

You never know what you may see north of Oshawa.

 

 

 

What size were the fish, bigger than average rainbows. I'm not sure what size Atlantics are when they enter the systems to spawn. It is OK, with the heavy rains tonight they should be offshore at Darlington by tomorrow morning.

[bigredfisher]

They weren't Atlantics , unless there's 25 lb Atlantics

Back in the late 80's when the MNR raised both Cohos and Chinook, what they did was to grab the Chinook eggs first and the Cohos after. What happened was they unintentionally bred for a later running strain of Cohos, the peak of the run would occur in the Credit in early Dec right up until it iced over. It was not uncommon to see a few around at spring thaw albeit in pretty advanced state. This is really late though even for those late spawners.

In all seriousness,I did see this. It was, to me at the time, crazy. Iced in river with pockets of open water and see these fish there . Man, to have a cam with you at that time.

What's that sign above the doors of Bass Pro Shops? "Welcome, fishermen, hunters, and other liars?"
