The river herring run is winding down on the Penobscot…  another record year!   Shad numbers have picked up considerably… 600+ over the weekend!  It’s time to get out and catch some!

Salmon numbers have also taken a jump since the last report.   We are still a bit behind recent years, but so has been our weather… It’s been a cold, wet spring!    Looking back to 2014, when Milford was built were still doing better than most years.   We have had over 100 fish in the past 3 days come through the fishway… if fish keep rolling in, we’ll be in good shape.

Until next week…
