HBAAA Trip to Swan River weir
| If you think Lake Huron Salmon are gone, then you need to see the fish that come up the Swan River just south of Rogers City. Almost 4500 returned last year and the way the river look this year even more. More then 1100 fish where processed that day. The goal is to remove 1,000,000 eggs to be sent to the hatchery. They are out there! we just have to find out where and how to catch them. The bait fish are returning and so are the Salmon. The fish where big and strong this year. The HBAAA and MDNR are committed to keep this fishery going strong. You can help by be coming a member of HBAAA |
