FALL FISHING DERBY GOES UNTIL MONDAY
OSWEGO - Erieville's James Huftalen, who caught a 38-pound, 14-ounce Chinook salmon in Oswego on the first day of the event, is still the grand-prize leader in the Lake Ontario Counties Trout & Salmon Derby. The derby continues through Monday in the U.S. and Canadian waters of Lake Ontario. The grand prize is $20,000. Huftalen caught the fish while on a charter with his friend Bill Bouck aboard Captain Ernie Lantiegne's Fish Doctor Charters. The salmon was caught using copper line on a planer board with a Hot Chip flasher and a Howie Fly. Lantiegne said they were trolling in about 120 feet of water west of Oswego. The fish was about 90 feet down, and was caught at about 3:30 p.m. The Chinook salmon was weighed at Larry's Oswego Salmon Shop, an official registration point and weigh station of the derby.
Feds say trout hatchery in New Marlborough can stay open
NEW MARLBOROUGH, Mass. The Berkshire Trout Hatchery in New Marlborough will remain open for the foreseeable future. The U-S Fish and Wildlife Service has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with representatives from the Berkshire Trout Hatchery Foundation. The hatchery is the only federal one in Western Massachusetts, and the only volunteer-run hatchery in the country. The facility includes 148 acres covered by marked trails, and it raises rainbow and brown trout for release into local waters. The hatchery includes a gravity-fed springwater system of pools to breed and hatch the fish. The hatchery also is raising 20-thousand Atlantic Salmon for use in the Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Restoration program. That program is trying to reintroduce Atlantic salmon into the Connecticut River Valley.
Silas Gray: This old mill stream produces big trout
My wife Karen and I were winding along Missouri highway 5 east of Springfield, being careful not to miss our turn. Silas Gray: This old mill stream produces big trout The Joplin Globe By Silas Gray Globe columnist My wife Karen and I were winding along Missouri highway 5 east of Springfield, being careful not to miss our turn. We were returning from a trip to Nashville and found ourselves with an extra day and nothing planned. With the town of Rockbridge only a few miles out of the way, we decided to spend some time catching big rainbow trout. This was the second time we'd made the trip to Rockbridge but the first time we'd made it together. Karen and I were introduced to the Rainbow Trout and Game Ranch while attending Dave and Emily Whitlock's fly fishing school.
