Excellent work. Combined with this years higher flows from mother nature, this could make a significant difference in upstream returns. In the early to mid eighties, on years of good returns, I have seen salmon redds as far downstream the the highway 32 bridge near Hamilton City and occasionally below. I remain hopeful for the future IF agencies would work together instead of antagonistically jim
The net savings of water by reducing flows at this time in minimal compared to the average usage during irrigation season. However the impact on juvenile salmon is high. In years past I have seen dozens of dead smolts on a single gravel bar just outside chico after similar flow reductions. They are all gone by morning as they are eaten at night and this was pre cell phone camera days so I could not document. If the agencies would cooperate and coordinate, much could be done for the salmon with minimal impact to agriculture instead to the antagonistic approach we see now. jim
Let me guess, Bears will only be prosecuted if they take more than $950 in Salmon from a river at a time, but they can still go on to other rivers as long as they only take $950 worth per visit.
Since Nuisance got caught not wearing a mask 2x then playing it off, i cant take him seriously anymore. He actually reminds me of a used car salesman 😂😂😂
The problem with the rivers is that they are packed with sediment. Instead of the required deep cold water salmon need the water is shallow and too warm to sustain them.
I have hope that our new president who has supported comm. fishermen for decades, will do some amazing salmon work. One almond takes 1.1 gallon of water to produce. I boycot all Ca. almonds. Walnuts are much healthier Go Bobby Kennedy!
Get real, Gavin Newsom is a puppet of Big Ag and West Land Water District and he could give a rats ass about the health of our rivers, creeks, stream and wetlands. Lies and deception is the rule in state government and there is nothing we can do about it. Say goodbye to the day of yesteryear and welcome to the era of rivers that are void of salmon and other migratory marine species. Hey mom, what's for dinner, fresh roasted almonds children. Painful but true...
when you say you should "keep it on ice", do you mean that you should keep it frozen? if it's frozen, why would it matter how long you keep it? if you don't mean that it should be frozen, how do you keep it on ice without it freezing? do you actually mean that it should be refrigerated?
Best trick I learned that from a commercial fishermen in the 70's. Tight line's tide lines fine lines to ya from Vancouver Island BC or as I call it Northern California.
Ya I was kind of wondering the same, video was posted nine months into the Biden admin. Biden reversed almost all of Trump's policies, why aren't they on his ass about this, and Newsom too?
Back in the early 2000's, they would release the salmon at Selby/Crokett 4 or 5 truckloads a day at 11:30am Mon-Fri May-June it was 5 of my friends and a few of the DFG truck drivers fishing for stripers after they released the Salmon not uncommon to catch and release 50 stripers in 2 1/2 hours then someone caught wind of it posted it on a fishing forum then place got overrun with harvesters leaving garbage behind and poaching fish the owners of the property closed it down to everyone that is why I never post online my fishing spots.
Despite what the big guy says in the video, the new rules do not allow you to have a second large buoy. You can only have one buoy of 5x11 (or larger), plus the 3x5 red buoy.
But, the SFPUC is completely invested in environmental preservation…don’t judge them on their actions, just ask them……typical for Liberal bureaucrats..they’re hypocrites
Nice that you don’t like trump but now why don’t you call out politicians that are currently in charge. You heard of Gavin newsom? How about riding with Biden?
Curious. Why the egg loop? It seems it would be a lot easier and quicker to just snell the hooks unless you're adding eggs. I also can't figure out the tag going through the front hook. Looks strong, but it's not tied to the front hook so if the actual line between the hooks gets nicked and breaks, the tag will just slide out. Am I missing something?
There is a good chance that you wouldn't be able to see a difference on camera. Where the brined bait really excels is durability while trolling and the brining extends the life of the bait for days as long as it is kept on ice.
