History & Status of the Fishery
Salmon River Reservoir was previously stocked with walleye from 2003-2008. During the fall of 2008, a NYSDEC electro-fishing survey was conducted to evaluate the success of the stocking; no walleye were captured during this survey. A follow up gill netting survey was conducted in the summer of 2013 to look for natural reproduction of walleye. Twenty-three walleye were collected with lengths that ranged from 9.5 to 22 inches. Ages for these walleye ranged from two to six years old; any walleye under five years of age were naturally reproduced in the reservoir. As natural reproduction is taking place in the reservoir, NYSDEC walleye stocking will be periodically done to help maintain the walleye population. Many of the streams entering the reservoir are stocked annually with rainbow, brown and brook trout; some of them may make their way into the reservoir.
