    Ah ha, good call!!!! Didn't think of that. I was just thinkin of the ones down by catt. I'd imagine their is a small percentage that survive from eggs in catt but to small of a percentage to right home about.

    I would venture to guess they are not even spawning in the Catt they are just going thru the motions that instinct tells them to do.

    Default Spawning Salmon

    Fishkiller, I respect your theory and it does hold some validity, but I can guarantee you the salmon are spawning successfully on the Catt and its' Tribs. There is a reason why they are returning to the Catt every year and that is to return to where they were born. I have seen first hand, multiple times, salmon spawning on the Catt and not just going through the motions. The DEC estimates successful, natural spawning of steelhead at 25 - 35%. I was a part of the Diary Program for 10 years and conversed with the DEC on a regular basis. If the steelhead can successfully spawn, so can the salmon. I catch steelhead smolts every fall on the tribs of the Catt so I can confirm natural steelhead reproduction. The salmon are there as well, just in very small numbers. Just giving info on what I have seen in over 20 years of fishing the Catt and its' Tribs.
    Thanks for all of your info on the walleye fishery.
