We had a great trip fishing both saltwater & freshwater our of Lockport, Nova Scotia. After releasing many of our photos we heard from our friends the Grdosic’s that when Conner Grdosic attended Dalhousie University, NS, besides his academic studies he was also able to enjoy the nearby fishing.
Chain Pickerel are common in most small, shallow Nova Scotia lakes and in most cases you can simply catch them just casting lures from shorelines.
Connor fished similar small lakes as we did on our trip and caught scrappy Chain Pickerel simply casting lures from shore.
Connor Grdosic smiles as he lands several Atlantic Mackerel using mackerel-flies just casting off the pier.
He also experienced casting Gotcha’ Lures and fishing jigs with mackerel flies for tasty Atlantic Mackerel right off the pier. That’s the nice thing about visiting Nova Scotia you don’t have to go far to enjoy catching a fresh fish meal!
Four dams on California-Oregon border to be decommissioned on Klamath River, which fish use to reach spawning grounds
A US agency seeking to restore habitat for endangered fish gave final approval on Thursday to decommission four dams straddling the California-Oregon border, the largest dam removal undertaking in US history.
Dam removal is expected to improve the health of the Klamath River, the route that Chinook salmon and endangered Coho salmon take from the Pacific Ocean to their upstream spawning grounds, and from where the young fish return to the sea.
‘We’re dwindling like the salmon’: the Indigenous nations fighting for water rights
The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued an order surrendering the dam licenses and approving removal of the dams.
The project has long been a goal of several Native tribes whose ancestors have lived off the salmon for centuries but whose way of life was disrupted by European settlement and the demand for rural electrification in the 20th century.
“The Klamath salmon are coming home,” Joseph James, chairman of the Yurok tribe, said in a statement. “The people have earned this victory and with it, we carry on our sacred duty to the fish that have sustained our people since the beginning of time.”
Climate change and drought have also stressed the salmon habitat; the river has become too warm and too full of parasites for many fish to survive.
The dams on federal land, which at full capacity provide enough electricity for 70,000 homes, will be surrendered by the power utility PacifiCorp, a unit of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.
Faced with costly new regulations that included building fish screens and ladders, the company instead entered an agreement with the tribes and the US government to decommission the dams.
PacifiCorp is contributing $200m toward dam removal, paid for by a surcharge on its customers in Oregon and California, said Bob Gravely, a company spokesperson, and California voters approved a bond measure for the state to provide an additional $250m.
