Gotta earn those Atlantics

Extremely warm weather has effected the Atlantic salmon fishing in the Soo just like it has effected the trout fishing in many other areas. Water temperature in the St. Mary’s River is running nearly 10 degrees above normal from my year to year experiences. Morning river temps are starting out around 65 degrees. Locals to the area are taking advantage of a rare opportunity to enjoy swimming in Lake Superior which in some years doesn’t break 55 degrees the whole year! Another big issue has been inconsistent water flows as Lake Superior is nearly a foot lower than last year, leaving the governors of the water flows to minimize use.  Pictured is Bill and Ida Sidor with a couple very well earned Atlantics.
