Fishing with Rod: Weaver Creek spawning channel

[hattrickster33]

Since the salmon have to pass through Morris lake and weaver slow below the spawning channels, wouldn't those places be extremely productive in the fall? I'm guessing there are a lot of natives using gill nets there if that is the case.,

went there this fall, is pretty cool, but too many peeeeeeeeeeople

[fishingwithrod]

@mjwutai Yep. Best to go later in the season when the weather gets a bit cooler. It's usually not as crowded by that time.

Do these channels make for truely good spawning habitat for salmon? Is there a worry for poachers?

[fishingwithrod]

@tripleduboutdoors It seems to have worked pretty well. The channel is an extension of a rather small creek (Weaver Creek) where spawning habitat is minimal. This artificial channel has significantly increased the run of this system. Not so sure about how common poaching is. It shouldn't be an issue during the day as this place is very popular with tourists.

@fishingwithrod That is good, I just have never heard of such a program. Seems like a viable thing, I am just wondering why we don't use a program like this in our rivers.

[SalmonSlayer1991]

@tripleduboutdoors i thinkk alot of the reason is the upkeep though definatly a better option then hatcheries in my opinnion but since these channels have the same continuious flows all year round with no spring floods to wash the sediment out of the spawning gravel they must be "vaccumed" to remove this sedimint for the program to remain viable

I am digging the music. one quesiton though. Dont you have a gag reel? I mean mess-ups, bloopers,......etc? I'd like to see that

[fishingwithrod]

@marco21falcon We have plenty of bloopers actually. Most are too embarrassing to be on here. ;) There should be another blooper compilation available the end of this year or early next year. :)
