UPSmallie Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Taking off for a year abroad, but wanted to fish hard my last week stateside so I did. Ended up with some pretty sweet results that I threw together into a youtube video. Fish On! 7 Quote

Super User J Francho Posted July 30, 2018 Super User Posted July 30, 2018 Atlantics are making a comeback in my neck of the woods, too. Haven't caught one myself, but I've seen them caught. Nice job! 1 Quote
UPSmallie Posted July 31, 2018 Author Posted July 31, 2018 Thanks guys! Helps that the St. Marys receives such heavy stocking on a yearly basis. What's neat is by looking at the fin clips on the fish you catch, you can determine what year they were planted into the river. I'd been mostly catching 2012's but the one in the video was a fresh lake-run 2013. 5 years in the wild on top of the probably 2-3 years in the hatchery. Have volunteered at the hatchery before but will try and get a seasonal fall semester job there when I get back. Love that river! @Mr. Aquarium I'm not sure where you're at, but one day in July sometime come up to the Sault and hire a guide. Those guys usually can get their clients on 5-10 fish/day. That's awesome @J Francho! They seem to be making their rounds anywhere touching the Great Lakes. I'd just keep plugging away where you've seen them caught and I'm sure you could get one. Mostly a fly-only kind of fish, but when aggressive can be caught on little cleos, thundersticks, rapalas, spinners, etc. 1 Quote
