In my opinion, this year will be the slowest year for catching salmon.
The good news is the Nashua hatchery has done a fantastic job of rearing this years smolt. They will be the largest stocked smolt in a number of years.
Age class recovery will begin this year but will take a couple more years before you really see a difference.
Regarding catch and release...if your fully versed in the proper handling and releasing of landlocked salmon, it certainly can’t hurt. If you need to have a picture of the fish while your holding it up by the gills, or your not using a rubber net, don’t bother.
