John Bacon Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNODDY Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Possibly Atlantics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Brown Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 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 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 They weren't Atlantics , unless there's 25 lb Atlantics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 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.
