Just down the road from there - I remember as a kid feeding HUGE eels
Think they still there too (not the same ones unless the live past 55 years :-)
@Sarvo yes eels can live a long time
Up to 80+ years I think
Can easily live past that age. Some female longfined eels can live up to 100 years apparently.Quote:

Yea the anatoki salmon farm gets flooded out occasionally and the locals have a ball catching them for a while......I dont think that would happen to this farm as it is a spring fed river.Quote:

Someone should consider breeding the taimen especially the Sakhalin or Siberian types. That will be a game changer in terms of fishing and improve conservation of course.

We took 4 of these yesterday… 8-10k going over the Bonneville dam on the Columbia… all in fine conditionQuote:

It’s a small world out there… we have a kiwi flag on the boat….this bloke on another boat rolls up on us … another kiwi!!!! … from taranaki!!… awesome chinwaggle and laugh…

2 coho caught yesterday,…ocean fishing,mouth of the Nehalem river ,Oregon ,pacific coast
Of all the salmon types,I reckon the COHO are the best tasting of the lot.Dark red flesh,whether smoked,baked,sushemi…its all good.
The commercial boys took a big swipe at them this week..now they’ve buggered off and let us get a few…….cannot believe the number of sea lions in the bay,gorging themselves on the run…….once hooked,you need the get the fish in the boat quickly,the sea lions love nothing better than to take your catch whilst still on the hook
I worked with Salmon for 20 yrs down on the sea cages at Stewy Is. We kept some broodstock fish aside for a few years. Some of those got close to 30kgs and got to about 6yrs plus old. Those were King Salmon or chinook.
