i live on the west coast of b.c ,on a isolated coast line of the salish sea. this is where i fish for our sea trout. the sea run coastal cutthroat (oncorhychus clarki clarki), and the stleelhead ( oncorhynchus mykiss).

i will share my tails of sea run trout fishing and i hope you injoy it as i do reading about you guys fishing browns from the sea.

Are the salmon farms having any affect on your runs,not seen any mention by alexandra morton on sea trout but i guess if they are like ours the lice must be having an affect "

Claret not just a great dubbing colour!

yes . but the salmon are the main topic of discushion and concern. the sea run cutthroat is a shore cruser. it stays in shallow water and gets a natural load of lice already. if a farm is in the area....? well? there is no sea trout to speek of. i fight the fight on farms all the time. have for 10 years now. my country is being hijacked by companys and US corperations every day. and the farms are one that is so frusterating. i see what it has done all over to sea trout ,and it freeks me out for shure. steelhead are to deep and out to sea to fast to have a affect on adults. but the babys get hit hard for shure. A bay with a sea run cutthroat population ,that has heavy loads already, should never be considered for a farm, EVER!
