‘Miracle’ on the Margaree River

Hatchery gives a boost to black salmon defying odds in bid to breed twice or more

MARGAREE — Statistical certainty doesn’t breed miracles.

But the Margaree River does.

And as you read this, some of those miracles are swimming down from the Cape Breton Highlands to the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Those black salmon — the ones who against all odds survived river and sea to lay eggs last fall — are going to try and make it happen again.

“You could use the word miracle,” Sean Neary said of the odds against any one Atlantic salmon surviving to breed twice.

“It’s incredibly rare, but they’ve been documented to breed more than twice.”

It is Neary’s job to give those miracles a little help.

He is the supervisor at the Margaree Fish Hatchery.

In giant above-ground ponds near the headwaters of the Inverness County river system, the hatchery has been nurturing along the metamorphosis of salmon eggs into fry, parr and smolt since 1902.

This year, the team will pour 150,000 juvenile salmon, both parr and smolt, back into the Margaree River. A further 20,000 to 30,000 each will be brought to the Middle and Baddeck rivers.

“The hatchery program is just one of the tools in the tool box,” said Neary.

Because it is not just the odds stacked against a salmon in its journey that qualify its return to a home river as a miracle, it also is all that goes into making the river a suitable habitat in the first place.

The unfathomable gallons of water tearing down the flooded Margaree River on Thursday fell one snowflake at a time onto the Cape Breton Highlands last winter. The merciful warmth of spring melted it, and it drained drop by drop into the nutrient-rich soil of the hardwood forests of the highlands to be filtered.

Unlike the granite-clad rivers of the eastern and southern shores, whose salmon runs have been all but extirpated by acid rain, the thick soils of the Margaree Valley retain their ability to moderate the pH levels of rainwater before it reaches the river that over eons has created the valley itself.

But the valley can’t do all the work alone, not anymore.

So the Margaree’s most recently arriving residents, the human ones, are helping it along.

John Hart was standing by the flooding river on Thursday and thinking about rocks.

“I think there’s some apathy among people who think the river has always been there and the fish have always been there,” said the longtime member of the Margaree Salmon Association.

But the river faces new challenges.

The clearcutting that followed a spruce budworm infestation during the 1970s removed some of the buffer that slows the water’s course into the river during spring melt. The increased water flow can stir up the sensitive river bottom where salmon lay their eggs and, at some places, even redirect the waters.

Since its founding in 1982, the association has placed stones along banks, installed digger logs to create pools where the fish can rest and lobbied government to protect the entire course of the watershed that creates the river.

“We work with government when the occasion warrants it, and give them hell when it warrants it, too,” said Hart.

They run an adopt-a-stream program with the help of Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. and the Nova Scotia Salmon Association, and do education in schools. They have also worked with First Nations groups to develop a plan whereby everyone can share the Margaree River.

“Our salmon runs are doing OK; they’re sustainable here,” said Mary Jander, another member of the Margaree Salmon Association.

“That’s important because you just won’t find a river that’s still wild and so enmeshed in the local culture and history outside of Nova Scotia.”

Jander loved the river so much, she moved to the Margaree Valley in 2000 from the United States to be nearer to it.

It is a love she is trying to share with other women through an upcoming Go with the Flow event — a weekend of training for women anglers.

It is three days of tying on leaders, learning to cast and advice from local guides.

Those wishing to register can contact her at margsalmon@gmail.com.

“This river is a place both breathtaking and unique,” said Jander.

ARTICSILVER THE FREE-FLEX SYSTEM

Innovative Design ARTICSILVER

Products

Passionate anglers the world over have historically acquired vast knowledge of fly fishing and fly casting. It is this knowledge bank Arctic Silver builds on product development. You will not learn to throw again, you will develop the skills you already possess. With Free Flex concept is ArcticSilvers design team in developing the most exciting innovation in fly fishing rod front for many decades - an entirely new category of fly rods.

Single hand

The Free Flex System

You've probably heard it before: "The power potential is located in the rod's lower shaft." This doctrine is often stated by skilled fly fishermen around the world, and is based on the physics around the transmission of force. The blanks on a fly rod is designed to bend and is charged with energy during casting. On traditional rods the handle is glued to the blanks precisely where the power potential is greatest. It goes without saying that a handle that is glued with hardening adhesive to the bottom portion of the blanks inhibits tensioning. This simple fact was the starting point for ArcticSilver’s product development. We wanted to create a rod where the blanks entire power potential could be exploited.

On ArcticSilver’s Free Flex rods the handle is not glued to the blanks. The result is a blanks that is charged easier, a rod that bends freely down the reel seat and gives you more punch and feeling with less use of force. All of the talented fly casters who have tried our rods, have given us the same, positive feedback: Free Flex rods are working right down into the palm of the hand, they have a deeper action, providing increased range and greater feeling.The world's most exciting and innovative rod concepts are under development. Soon you will be able to see and feel the difference. Look forward to it.

Vision new REEL offering - Un nouveau Moulinet de VISION

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 4 Apr 2014 23:02:00 -0400

VISION KELA FLY REEL

Vision has a new fly reel hitting the market this month with it's exciting design the Kela reel should be a great reel built around the sturdy XLA with the lightness of their CDC reel. Cant wait to try em on the river this summer.

"Stunning looks and design"

The famous XLA is a milestone among Vision reels. Reliable and even more reliable. But it started to look old. Just like its designers. The CDC reel was at same time also very much liked partly because it’s really light weight partly because of its nice look. We integrated these two reels together and the result is lightweight, reliable, simple, nice looking and an elegant Kela. It comes in two stunning color combinations: Silver Gray and Green Machine.

-The offspring of two of our classics: the trusty XLA and the feather light CDC
- Large capacity to host modern lines
- New brake adjustment system with high precision control
- New sensitive carbon fibre disc brake based on the reliable XLA
- New handle design for maximum grip
- Two colors: “SilverGray” and “GreenMachine“

Le Site Web de la Fédération Québécoise pour le Saumon Atlantique fait Peau Neuve Encore une Fois

La FQSA (Fédération Québécoise pour le Saumon Atlantique) se fait un grand plaisir de vous présenter leur tout nouveau site web, sur lequel vous pourrez découvrir les rivières à saumon du Québec, consulter leur documentation sur la pêche au saumon, visiter leur galerie de photos sans oublier leur tout nouveau forum de discussion et bien plus!

Lors de son congrès annuel, tenu le 29 mars dernier à l’hôtel Clarion de Québec, la FQSA a procédé au lancement de son tout nouveau site web ainsi que d’une vidéo sur la pêche au saumon. Le nouveau site permet aux pêcheurs de trouver de l’information sur les rivières à saumon du Québec, sur nos activités et nos projets ainsi qu’une section entièrement dédiée aux photos et aux vidéos.

La vidéo intitulée : Une nouvelle expérience, la pêche au saumon, connaît un essor fulgurant depuis qu’elle a été mise en ligne. Après seulement 2 jours, elle a été regardée par près de 3 000 personnes et partagée sur plus de 15 000 pages. Le nombre de visionnements et de partage s’accroît d’heure en heure à grande vitesse. De plus, elle a été publiée sur Facebook et plusieurs site web.

À l’aide de ces deux outils, la FQSA se renouvelle, se modernise et s’internationalise. Elle désire par le fait même s’engager envers les jeunes et maintenir la relation de confiance avec les saumoniers d’expérience.

Nous vous invitons donc à venir consulter leur site web et leur nouvelle vidéo au www.fqsa.ca.

LPXE RS V2 de GUIDELINE - GUIDELINE LPXE RS V2

Le choix #1 du Guide Jocelyn LeBlanc et Sonie Poulin pour l'omble de fontaine anadrome jusqu'au grand brochet.

A Jocelyn Leblanc & Sonie Poulin favorite pick for sea run brook trout to huge northern pike.

LPXe RS V2 rods are made for fast and furious action on flats, coasts or off boats in both tropical and cold water environments. They’re primarily designed to excel in windy open waters, with high line-speeds, larger flies and big fish. This year’s new V2-generation sees a new cool looking design that is sure to stand out and make an impression.

Description

Reel seats and guides are constructed from high quality materials, to last in tough saltwater conditions and the stripper guides are in chrome finish with Hardloy inserts that match the blank color nicely. The same goes for the reel seat – designed with the Guideline cut- away design, it compliments the distinctive look of the blank . A new, custom designed, hard EVA fighting butt adds comfort and style to the rod. RS version 2 continues the use of the same complex mix of different graphites in varying modulus throughout the blank. Moreover, the mixes of graphite vary with each individual model to produce custom actions. Strain rates vary from a standard 24msi up to a high 48msi, to take advantage of the best properties from each material. For this latest model of the RS, we have beefed up the lower section of the rods in the 10-12 weight range – an important upgrade that ill make it easier to put the heat on big fish, especially when fighting them from boats.

River mystery solved: Scientists discover how 'Didymo' algae bloom in pristine waters with few nutrients

ScienceDaily (June 3, 2011) — The pristine state of unpolluted waterways may be their downfall, according to research results published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

A species of freshwater algae that lives in streams and rivers, called Didymo for Didymosphenia geminata, is able to colonize and dominate the bottoms of some of the world's cleanest waterways--precisely because they are so clear.

Didymo does so with a little help from its friends--in this case, bacteria--which allow it to make use of nutrients like phosphorus.

Blooms of Didymo, also known as "rock snot," says scientist P.V. Sundareshwar of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, are made up of stalks that form thick mats on the beds of oligotrophic, or low-nutrient, streams and rivers. Sundareshwar is the paper's lead author.

"In recent decades, human activities have led to many uncommon environmental phenomena," he says. "Now we have Didymo."

The freshwater diatom has become notorious. Didymo has taken over low-nutrient rivers in North America and Europe. It has also invaded water bodies in the Southern Hemisphere, including those in New Zealand and Chile.

Because its blooms alter food webs and have the potential to impact fisheries, "Didymo presents a threat to the ecosystem and economic health of these watercourses," says Sundareshwar.

Algae blooms are usually linked with the input of nutrients that fuel the growth of microscopic aquatic plants. Didymo's ability to grow prolifically in waters where nutrients such as phosphorus are in short supply puzzled scientists.

Environmental managers tried to mitigate Didymo blooms and predict their spread. But how the diatoms sustained such high growth in oligotrophic systems was unknown.

In a study funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the State of South Dakota Carbon Scientist fund, Sundareshwar and colleagues revealed that Didymo is able to concentrate phosphorus from the water.

The scientists conducted their research in Rapid Creek, an unpolluted mountain stream in western South Dakota where Didymo was first observed in 2002. The creek regularly has Didymo blooms, with 30 to 100 percent of the streambed covered with Didymo over an area up to ten kilometers (6 miles) long.

Didymo thrives in Rapid Creek through biogeochemical processes in biofilms in the mats. As Didymo mats form, new stalks develop at the surface and older stalks--which have already bound phosphorus--are displaced to the mats' inner regions.

Phosphorus is available to Didymo thanks to the activity of the bacteria that live inside these mats.

"This study solves the puzzle of how Didymo can produce such large blooms in low-nutrient rivers and streams," says Tim Kratz, program director in NSF's Division of Environmental Biology.

"It has uncovered the fascinating mechanism by which Didymo 'scrubs' phosphorus from a stream or river," says Kratz, "then creates a microenvironment that allows microbes to make this nutrient available for Didymo's growth."

The concentration of phosphorus on Didymo mats far exceeds the level expected based on the nutrient content of surface waters, says Sundareshwar.

"The ability of the mats to store phosphorus is tied to the availability of iron in the water."

Didymo cells adsorb, or condense on their surfaces, both iron and phosphorus. Then bacterial processes in the mat interact with iron to increase the biological availability of phosphorus.

The process results in abundant phosphorus for cell division, "and hence," says Sundareshwar, "a resolution to the paradox of Didymo blooms in oliogotrophic streams and rivers."

The result will help scientists and managers identify water bodies susceptible to Didymo blooms.

"It also has the potential to lead to discoveries that may stem this organism's prolific growth in rivers around the world," says Sundareshwar.

"This is how science is supposed to work--research conducted at one small creek in South Dakota can be translated to places across the globe."

Co-authors of the paper are S. Upadhayay, M. Abessa, S. Honomichl, C. Sandvik, and A. Trennepohl of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology; B. Berdanier of South Dakota State University and A. Spaulding of the U.S. Geological Survey in Boulder, Colo.

Top Conservation Award for Monsieur Saumon

April 28th, 2011

For immediate release

St. Andrews, NB ….. The Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) presented its top Canadian conservation award to Yvon Côté, known as Monsieur Salmon in Québec, in Montréal on Wednesday, April 27.

Presented in conjunction with ASF’s board meeting, Directors from both Canada and the United States were present to honour their colleague’s commitment to conservation of salmon and their habitat.

"Yvon Côté has guided the Fédération québécoise pour le saumon Atlantique (FQSA), ASF's Regional Council in Québec, through challenging times with poise and a level headedness that has brought praise from all sectors of the Atlantic salmon world," states ASF (Canada) Chairman, the Honourable Michael Meighen. "Yvon goes beyond the call of duty to help solve problems in a spirit of respect and cooperation, while trying to include all stakeholders."

In Québec, he led the way for the creation of a federally funded "Salmon Economic Development Program", which provides funds to facilitate development and conservation initiatives in the province’s rivers.

Yvon’s knowledge of Atlantic salmon issues and biology is uncontested. For more than 20 years, he held various positions within the Québec Ministry of Natural Resources and Wildlife. During his tenure, he completed many field research projects and was the chief Atlantic salmon biologist until he retired from the public service in 1996.

He has served as President of the FQSA since 2000. Founded in 1984, FQSA is a non-profit organization that works to preserve and improve salmon rivers, develop Québec’s salmon sport fishery, and protect the resource and its habitat against threats. FQSA has 35 affiliated river management groups and more than a thousand members.

The award, first presented in 1975, is named in memory of T.B. "Happy" Fraser of Montréal for the many contributions he made during his lifetime to protect and conserve wild Atlantic salmon. Since then ASF has honoured more than 40 people, who, like Mr. Côté, have contributed significantly to ensure the future survival of this iconic species.

The Atlantic Salmon Federation is dedicated to the conservation, protection and restoration of wild Atlantic salmon and the ecosystems on which their well being and survival depend.

ASF has a network of seven regional councils (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Maine and Western New England). The regional councils cover the freshwater range of the Atlantic salmon in Canada and the United States.
