| Andover, MA and Andover NH Posts: 15 | I was recently reading an article in "On the Water Magizine" and couldn't help but notice an article talking about Salmon. As I read on the article said that people had been catching these salmon since the 1920's but it now is becoming almost impossible to even find any they record that some had been cought in Scituate, MA's North River along with Great Bay, NH's Lamprey River. I did a little research and found out that in british columbia there are streams that have been consistanly stocked with Coho and are now supporting wild populations. Does any body know anything more? | |

| SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse Posts: 66 | The Salmon River in Pulaski, NY has big runs of Cohos out of Lake Ontario they are often coined with the nickname "King" Salmon though and I have seen them pulled out over 20 lbs. The DEC stocks them and they have a hatchery for wild fish to spawn. I rarely like to fish for them because of all the comotion they cause bringing people who are willing to fight for the fish streamside. I normally wait a few weeks into the spawn and catch the Steelhead and large Browns that follow and feed on their eggs. | |

| SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse Posts: 66 | There are also strong runs of Chinook Salmon that spawn around the same time as the Cohos. | |

| Potter County, PA Posts: 53 | You actually have that backwards. The "kings" are Chinook Salmon. The Coho is known as the "silver" salmon. | |
