Latest Events

On Saturday, December 19, 2009 the club moved its spare hatching tank into the spillway of the McConnellsville dam. The club will be conducting an experiment over the winter to see if the water quality in the West Branch of Fish Creek is suitable to hatch Atlantic salmon. For more about the project click here.

Spey Nation Seminar

A big THANK YOU goes to Spey Nation for contributing the profits of their raffle to the Fish Creek Atlantic Salmon Club. Spey Nation held their second stream side seminar on the Salmon River at the Pineville bridge parking area on Saturday, June 20. The forecast called for scattered thunderstorms but luckily all we got were a few sprinkles. The club set up its booth and handed out brochures. Five new members signed up.

Click here for information of their next stream side seminar.

Please Note:

The club has a speakers program. We would be glad to make a presentation at a meeting or an event sponsored by your group. Please contact Paul Miller at 315 337-4079 or e-mail pmiller3825@yahoo.com .

Objective of the Club

The Fish Creek Atlantic Salmon Club, inc was formed in 1997 for the purposes of:

Restoring/re-introducing native Atlantic salmon and Brook Trout to Fish Creek and the Oswego River system as self sustaining species.
Cooperate with federal, state and local agencies to maintain and restore habitat critical to fish restoration including water quality, substrate quality, riparian condition, and adequate fish passage throughout the system.
Collaborate with other groups, organizations, watershed stake-holders in order to exchange information and minimize duplication of effort.

The objective of the club is to develop a coordinated, informed and supportable restoration effort for Atlantic salmon in the Oswego River system, using the best available technology and science with participation by interested individuals, Native Americans, non-profit, governmental and non-governmental agencies and groups. For more information on the club contact one of the club's officers.

The club meets on the fourth Thursday of the month at 7:00 PM at the Camden Rod and Gun Club (directions) on Moran Post Road. The public is invited to attend our meetings.
