Lake Trout yes. But I did not know there were Sebago Salmon in the Great
Lakes.


Besides coho and chinook, we have pink and I believe we stock a few
chum.. We have atlantic salmon, browns steelhead and natural hybrids.
("pinook" and splake) We also have lake trout. Now is the season; as the
water cools, fish move into the rivers to spawn. Huge schools form off the
river mouths and run along the shore.

Hey, have you guys found out about the walleye, smallmouth and striper
hybrids in the great lakes yet?

I've been fishing Lake Superior for smallmouth for years. In the Ashland,
Wisconsin area, you cannot keep a smallmouth until it is 22 inches or over,
and then, only one! Can you imagine the overall average size of the bass
there? They're unbelievable.

hybrids.

You should have access to purebred sea run fish, too. The hybrids are
striper/ white bass crosses. The difference is whether the male or female
of each species is used. Striper eggs and white bass milt produces a
different hybrid than white bass eggs and striper milt. One of the hybrids
is called a "wiper", what is the other called? Neither hybrid is fertile,
but heavy stocking each year produces a great fishery.

Michigan DNR is considering heavy cuts in salmon stocking because of the
collapse of the alewife population. These stocking reductions may not
hamper salmon populations because of the heavy natural production on most
waters. Stockings of other fish would replace the lost salmon plantings.
