[QUOTE="Allen, post: 48881, member: 389"] Back when they first stocked salmon in Sak there were a number of people in the New Town area that tried to catch them, incorrectly thinking they could be found that far north in catchable numbers. It was an exercise in futility for most people, although a few would get caught around 4 Bears and Pouch Point. I have seen a few incidental catches up that way over the years, some on cranks and my ex even caught one on a spinner/lindy rig in 6-7 ft of water one time. I have also partaken in a few gill net and seining trips around the northern end of Sak. Salmon were a rarity even in the idiot led gill netting operations by the paddlefish researchers from Idaho. Man alive if that guy isn't clueless on walleyes and northerns, he had his grad students setting gill nets suspended out in 50+ ft of water, all they caught were catfish, goldeyes and carp. The 2 salmon I remember them catching in the gill nets suggested to me there simply weren't many in that NT to Lewis and Clark St. Park reach. That was back in 1993 - 94. [/QUOTE]
