Default Re: Land locked salmon

Lake George NY has a landlock stocking program that has been on the down fall tje past 10-15 years but has recently began to recover. In the 70 lg was salmon counrty. Introduction of lakers and soon the salmon began to get sparse. Problem big lakers eat everything. NyY stocks salmon in lg yearly but it has not took hold back. Problem was the 7 inch stockers got eaten by lakers before they even had a chance. Rumor they now stock less salmon but biggger sized giving them a chance and it seems like it has helped. I was only lucky enough to catch one in 30+ years up there bit have only really fished for em the past 5 years.
If you want lakers they are up there in #'s and are decent sized.
I think the NJ is facing a similar problem but here i beleive its the birds getting the small stocked salmon.
