Fish frames Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Took out. Couple of cameras and headed to a local river to catch the salmon migration. They're pretty beat up this time of year but still a site to see jumping and swimming up the shallows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Do they spawn successfully there? Cool video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish frames Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Successful - i doubt it. The salmon fishery all over the Great Lakes relies heavily on stocking. Be interesting to hear others opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Successful - i doubt it. The salmon fishery all over the Great Lakes relies heavily on stocking. Be interesting to hear others opinions. Fin clipping studies from about five to ten years ago indicate that there was approximately a 50/50 split between hatchery and wild fish in Lake Ontario. I don't have stats on individual rivers. There would be large differences from one river to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_cdot Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 I know down here on Lake Erie we caught lots of wild steelhead when in past years you could tell they were stocked. I know this has nothing to do with Lake O. It's quite likely these steelhead spawn in ohio, pennsylvania or new york Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
