Greg sends a copy of yesterday's CBC Report along:
"The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has closed three areas on the Southwest Miramichi River to fishing to protect salmon that are under stress from the ongoing hot weather
Angling has been prohibited in the Indiantown Brook, Wilson Brook and Sutherland Pool.It's been a tough summer for salmon in New Brunswick's Miramichi River. The federal department estimates that hundreds of fish have died because they can't survive in the river's warmer waters.
Warm water loses oxygen, forcing salmon to pools of cooler water."
Overnight rains have started the wqater rising and coolewd it off slightly - we need more. Yesterday as in previous days we are seeing lots of eagles & hawks taking and feeding on fish.
