In Appreciation

The club is very thankful for Harden Furniture's help in building a new hatchery on the West Branch of Fish Creek. The club also appreciates Spey Nation for contributing the profits of their stream-side seminar to the Fish Creek Atlantic Salmon Club. And lastly, the club is grateful for the continuing support of fellow sportsmen, without which the club would not be able to continue with our efforts to restore Atlantic salmon to their native waters.

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.
