It’s been 17 years since anglers have been able to cast a line into Charlotte County’s Magaguadavic River in hopes of landing a salmon.The Magaguadavic River Salmon Recovery Group hopes, with Cooke’s help, that they will gradually boost stocking in the river to a point where 1,500 adults would return annually to spawn on their own.
A new outbuilding opened in the summer at the Thomaston Corner Hatchery near Harvey. Manager Mike Watson says it will soon be filled with tanks full of salmon.The project is in partnership with the Atlantic Salmon Federation dedicated to protecting and enhancing wild Atlantic salmon populations.
