New section — Analysis Series With Before the First Cast , my goal has always been to put the salmon before the fishing, to better understand our rivers, and to give anglers the tools they need to make more responsible decisions. Today, I'm adding a new, more technical subsection to the blog: the Analysis Series . This series will go beyond the usual segments. It will serve to examine in depth publications, management decisions, scientific reports, tables, graphs and certain claims circulating in the salmon community. Each analysis will seek to answer simple, but essential questions: Does the message presented actually correspond to the studies? Are the data being used correctly? Do the proposed thresholds truly protect salmon? Is a distinction made between an administrative threshold and a biological threshold? What important information has been simplified, omitted, or taken out of context? The Analysis Series will not be designed to attack any organization, river, or person. Rather, its objective will be to compare messages with available knowledge, to recognize what is done well, to highlight what needs to be nuanced, and to propose improvements where necessary. The articles may include: a clear context; a point-by-point analysis; comparative tables; graphs; the results of the main studies; numbered sources; the limits and uncertainties; a practical conclusion for fishermen and managers. Initial analysis: Matane versus Nova Scotia The first publication in this new series will focus on two infographics concerning water temperature and the release of Atlantic salmon: Matane River – ZEC Salmon vs. Nova Scotia Salmon Association Both publications use a green, yellow and red scale, but they do not convey the same message. In Matane, conditions are presented as favorable up to 20°C , caution is recommended between 20 and 22°C , then salmon is considered at risk from 22°C . In Nova Scotia, caution begins at 18.3°C and the red zone begins above 20°C . This difference of only two degrees may seem small, but for a salmon exhausted by a fight, it can represent a significant difference in its ability to recover and in its risk of mortality after being released back into the water. The analysis will therefore compare the two messages with available studies in order to determine which best represents the actual progression of thermal risk. Why this series? In the world of salmon, a beautiful image or a simple message can quickly become a benchmark. But oversimplifying a complex subject can also create a false sense of security. A salmon doesn't suddenly become vulnerable when the thermometer reaches exactly 22°C. The risk increases gradually. It depends on the temperature, the current, the duration of the fight, the injury, exposure to air, the fish's condition, and several other factors. The Analysis Series will therefore be based on the principle of not only asking: Is it legal to fish? She will also ask: Is it really responsible to fish in these conditions? Because before the first cast, we need to understand what our decisions can mean for the salmon. Before the first cast — Analysis Series: Understanding the data. Comparing the messages.

Striped bass management plan 2026: protecting one species should not weaken others Atlantic salmon and anadromous brook trout must become genuine decision criteria Quebec has just published its 2026 Striped Bass Management Plan. This is a serious document, structured around six orientations, fourteen objectives, and forty-three actions. The plan recognizes the need to monitor striped bass populations, protect their habitats, regulate their harvesting, and better understand their place in the St. Lawrence ecosystems. [1] That's progress. But when we analyze this plan from the point of view of Atlantic salmon and anadromous brook trout, a major weakness appears: the document remains primarily designed to manage, protect and enhance striped bass . Salmonids are being observed around the plan. They are not yet at the center of its decisions. Atlantic salmon has a specific objective to assess its interactions with striped bass. Anadromous brook trout, however, is not even directly named in the objectives. It is indirectly included in a general category grouping "species that interact with striped bass". [2] For an emblematic and already fragile species like salmon, and for an ecotype as particular and as poorly documented as the anadromous char, this is not enough. A good plan for managing sea bass, but not yet a plan for protecting salmonids. The government's decision-making framework is based primarily on two criteria: the abundance of the striped bass population; its demographic trend, i.e. a stable, growing or decreasing population. The plan then calls for adapting management practices based on these two indicators. In 2025, the breeding population in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence was estimated at approximately 547,300 individuals. It officially remains in the caution zone, with a trend considered stable. [1] This information is essential to prevent further overexploitation of striped bass. But a fundamental question is missing from the decision-making framework: What risk does this predator population pose to local populations of Atlantic salmon and anadromous brook trout? A population of sea bass can be abundant enough to support some exploitation, while producing locally significant mortality on a small population of salmonids. The two realities are not contradictory. Striped bass can be protected from overexploitation, while also intervening in a migratory passage, a river mouth or a section of fresh water where a few concentrated predators cause disproportionate mortality. This is why the status of salmonids must become a third mandatory criterion in any decision affecting access, catch limits and exploitation areas for striped bass. Table 1 — What the plan includes and what needs to be added Stake What the plan entails What needs to be added Decision-making framework Abundance and trend of striped bass A mandatory risk criterion for salmonids Atlantic salmon Studying interactions and predation Intervention thresholds, timelines, and priority rivers Anadromous Arctic char Placed among the other species that can interact with the bar Name it explicitly and dedicate a separate program to it North Shore Recognized as a less studied sector A permanent network of sentinel rivers Local Predation Results are often summarized at the provincial level. Analyses by river, habitat and migratory window Climate change General integration into bar management Track the temporal and geographical shift of the overlap with salmonids Accountability Possible publication of results and financial statements Budget, responsibilities, timelines, indicators and annual targets Cumulative effect Pressures generally studied separately A Running the Gauntlet type approach The action plan itself acknowledges that the North Shore is among the less studied areas that need to be prioritized. It also plans to characterize the use of salmon rivers by European bass in different salmonid regions and to assess predation on juvenile salmon. [2] The intention is therefore present. What is missing is the transition from intention to obligation: which rivers will be studied, from which year, for how long, with what budget, according to which method and based on what result will an intervention be triggered? The irony of the Ouelle River The case of the Ouelle River perfectly illustrates why one must be extremely cautious before generalizing a local result. The Ouelle River is the only Quebec river where telemetry monitoring has demonstrated a sustained presence of striped bass at its mouth in the spring, during a period favorable to salmon smolt migration. In the spring of 2018, the stomach contents of 184 striped bass were analyzed there. No smolts were identified. This result deserves consideration. But the same report explicitly acknowledges that the low abundance of Atlantic salmon in the Ouelle River could explain the absence of smolts in the stomachs of striped bass . Despite this major caveat, the document then uses this finding to conclude that there is a low risk of striped bass predation on smolts throughout Quebec. [3] That's the whole irony. Predation is studied in a river with relatively little salmonid habitat and low salmon abundance. No salmon fry are found in the stomachs of the fish. This result is then used to reassure the public about much larger and completely different rivers. It's like counting wolves in a parking lot, not finding any, and then concluding there aren't any in the forest. The problem isn't that the Ouelle River was studied. All data is useful. The problem is turning a lack of detection, obtained in a context of low prey abundance, into a general conclusion applicable to all rivers in Quebec. The absence of salmon smolts in a sample doesn't prove a universal absence of predation. It only proves that no smolts were identified in that specific sample, at that specific location, and during that specific time period. The North Shore is not the Ouelle River Comparing salmon farming production units shows how different the systems are. The Ouelle River contains approximately 673,476 habitat production units. For comparison, the recorded values include: 2.14 million for Godbout; 2.22 million for Aux Rochers; 4.02 million for the Saint-Jean de la Côte-Nord; 9.04 million for Moisie; over 16 million for Natashquan. [3] These production units do not represent the actual number of salmon smolts produced or migrating downstream each year. They correspond to an area of accessible habitat weighted according to its quality for the parr stage. They nevertheless demonstrate one essential point: the rivers being compared do not have the same habitat capacity or the same ecological scale . Figure 1 — Comparison of the Ouelle River and several North Shore rivers Download the high-resolution graph The North Shore also experiences later downstream migrations as one moves eastward. Salmon smolts leave the rivers when flow, temperature, and physiological development conditions become favorable. Therefore, the risk depends less on a provincial average than on the answer to three questions: Is the bar present? Are salmon smolts or migrating char present at the same time? Are both species concentrated in the same corridor? When all three answers are yes, the risk warrants intensive study, regardless of what an average calculated from dozens of different areas demonstrates. When the provincial average masks the local risk The Quebec results are often presented in the following form: since 2014, more than 1,200 stomach contents of striped bass have been analyzed and salmonids, all stages combined, represented less than 1% of the total volume of prey. This statistic is relevant. But it can also be misleading when used alone. It mixes bass caught in different regions, different seasons, and different habitats. Many of these fish probably had no real chance of encountering a salmon or char. When we focus instead on bass that have entered the freshwater portions of salmon rivers, the picture changes considerably. Of 87 bass analyzed in five rivers, 71% had been feeding and 23% contained parr or salmonids that could not be precisely identified. Bass had also been observed in the freshwater portion of 22 rivers in 2017. [3] Predation is therefore not imaginary. It is documented. The real uncertainty concerns its intensity, its distribution, and its demographic consequences on each population. A provincial average of less than 1% can coexist with a local outbreak where nearly a quarter of the sampled bass consumed a juvenile salmonid. This is not a statistical contradiction. This demonstrates the importance of the scale of analysis. For a large salmon population, additional mortality can sometimes be absorbed. For a river that receives only a few dozen large salmon, or whose egg deposition is already deficient, each additional loss takes on a completely different significance. The anadromous brook trout: the great forgotten one The problem becomes even more evident when examining the situation of the anadromous brook trout. The 2020-2028 Brook Trout Management Plan acknowledges that anadromous populations were not included in the overall plan because their ecology is very different from that of resident populations. It also acknowledges that information remains fragmented and that monitoring tools are not standardized at the provincial level. [4] In other words, the anadromous char is different enough to be excluded from the general plan, but it still does not benefit from a permanent framework comparable to that of salmon or striped bass. Meanwhile, he continues to be exposed to several pressures: recreational use; food fishing; commercial fishing in certain areas of the North Shore; accidental captures; habitat degradation and fragmentation; water heating; loss of thermal shelters; Predation in rivers, estuaries and coastal environments. The government report on commercial fishing acknowledges that several brook trout populations have declined in recent decades and that knowledge of the status of anadromous stocks remains fragmented. It also specifies that harvesting at sea removes migratory individuals that will no longer be able to return to contribute to reproduction in freshwater. [5] The anadromous char uses precisely the habitats where the risk of interaction with striped bass can become significant: river mouths, estuaries, shallow coastal areas, migratory corridors, and the lower reaches of rivers. Unlike salmon smolts, which leave the river for a long oceanic migration, the anadromous char can undertake seasonal coastal migrations and return to freshwater after a few months. It is therefore likely to pass through certain areas of predator concentration several times. However, the striped bass map doesn't explicitly name it. This is an oversight that needs to be addressed. Running the Gauntlet : the problem may not be a single threat Public debate often seeks a single culprit. The striped bar. Seals. Climate change. Fishing. Aquaculture. Habitat loss. The low availability of prey at sea. But the salmon smolt never encounters a single threat. When it leaves its river, it begins a real ordeal. It must cross a river mouth where fish-eating birds, seals, and predatory fish may congregate. It must physiologically adapt to salt water. It must quickly find enough food, while the small prey it depends on are themselves sought after by several species. Then come changes in the marine environment, food competition, diseases, parasites, warming, shifts in food webs and the thousands of kilometers to travel. If it survives and returns as an adult, it still has to overcome fishing, coastal predators, low flows, warm water episodes and obstacles in its river. This is the principle developed in Running the Gauntlet . This hypothesis does not claim that striped bass alone explains the decline of salmon. Rather, it suggests that we may be underestimating the cumulative effect of all the successive pressures exerted on the same fish . [6] Striped bass don't need to be responsible for 50% of fish mortality to become biologically significant. It only needs to add a few percentage points of mortality to a population that has already lost its safety margin due to all the other pressures. Mortality considered low in isolation can become decisive when added to ten other mortalities also considered low or moderate. This logic also applies to the anadromous brook trout. What Quebec should do now This is not about launching a war on striped bass. The southern Gulf population remains within the precautionary zone, and the striped bass itself is vulnerable to overfishing. A blanket, widespread reduction would be difficult to defend scientifically. [1] The effective solution is targeted, measurable management adapted to each river. 1. Add a third criterion to the decision-making framework Any changes to striped bass fishing regulations should assess: the state of the bar population; its demographic trend; the risk to local salmonid populations . An increase in catches should not be permitted in an area where a salmon or char population is declining and where significant migratory overlap is documented. 2. Create a network of sentinel rivers on the North Shore The network should cover, at a minimum, rivers representative of different sizes and regions: Godbout, Trinité, Aux Rochers, Moisie, Sheldrake, Saint-Jean, Mingan and Natashquan. Each station should follow simultaneously: the downstream migration of the salmon smolts; the movements of the anadromous char; the presence and abundance of the bar; freshwater incursions; the temperature; the flow rate; salinity; the other predators. 3. Study the true migration window Studies should not begin on a fixed date decided several months in advance. They must begin before the first downstream migration and continue until the last salmon have passed. The window of opportunity must be determined by the actual conditions of each river. Studying a few days outside the peak of migration can produce a completely different conclusion than that obtained during the critical week. 4. Combine several methods Visual analysis of stomachs is not always sufficient. Partially digested prey can become impossible to identify. We need to combine: acoustic telemetry; transmitters capable of signaling predation; genetic metabarcoding; Environmental DNA; cameras and sonar; stomach contents; monitoring of adult migrations and returns. 5. Establish intervention thresholds When bass enter a migratory pass, a thermal refuge, or a freshwater area where young salmonids are concentrated, an authorized team should be able to intervene quickly. Interventions could include: targeted withdrawal; movement or scaring; temporary closure of a sector; intensified sampling; enhanced protection of the local salmonid population. 6. Officially name the anadromous char The anadromous brook trout should no longer be hidden in a general category of "other species". He must benefit from: of a specific objective in the striped bar plan; of a new provincial action plan; population indicators; of a monitoring network; conservation thresholds; a complete reassessment of all its sources of mortality. 7. Measure the cumulative effect Management must stop examining each threat in a separate box. A modern study should follow cohorts of salmon smolts and char through several stages of their migration to determine how predation, temperature, flow, feeding, catches, and habitats interact. Only in this way can the Running the Gauntlet hypothesis be scientifically confirmed, corrected, or rejected. Conclusion — The absence of evidence should no longer be considered evidence of absence The 2026 Striped Bass Management Plan is a useful starting point. It recognizes the importance of better understanding interactions with salmon. It identifies the North Shore as an understudied region. It plans to continue research and publish the results. But it is still too focused on promoting striped bass and not enough on the mandatory protection of salmonids that share the same habitats. The use of the Ouelle River to produce a reassuring conclusion on a Quebec scale demonstrates exactly why we need to change our approach. The report acknowledges that the low abundance of salmon in this river could explain the absence of smolts in the stomachs of the fish. Despite this, the findings were generalized to rivers with vastly different habitat areas, downstream migration patterns, and ecological realities. This is not proof that striped bass threaten all rivers. But it certainly is not proof that they pose no significant problem on the North Shore either. The honest answer is that we don't know enough yet. And when we don't know, scientific prudence doesn't mean choosing the most reassuring hypothesis. It means studying the phenomenon where the risk is greatest: in rivers with significant downstream migration, during the true emergence of salmon smolts, in areas where bass are present in large numbers, and in passages where fish are concentrated. Atlantic salmon and anadromous brook trout no longer have enough leeway for a lack of knowledge to serve as a justification for inaction. Protecting the striped bass is legitimate. But a truly ecosystem-based management must also guarantee that this protection and its enhancement will never be at the expense of the most vulnerable salmonids. The real challenge is not choosing between sea bass, salmon, and Arctic char. The real challenge is to develop a management system capable of considering them all together, in the right place, at the right time, and on the right scale. Sources [1] Government of Quebec.

13,620 Licences, 49,458 Fishing Days, and 13,133 Salmon Counted: Where Is the Limit? Editorial on Salmon Fishing Pressure in Quebec in 2025 The 2025 Atlantic salmon report for Quebec calls for a discussion that goes far beyond the simple question of fishing success. It forces us to ask whether the way we use, manage, and promote salmon rivers is still appropriate given the current condition of the resource. For the 2025–2026 season, 13,620 salmon fishing licences were sold in Quebec: 11,486 to residents and 2,134 to non-residents. These sales include annual licences, three-day licences, and mandatory catch-and-release licences. The figures are identified as preliminary. [1] During the 2025 fishing season, river use amounted to 49,458 fishing days. At the same time, 13,133 adult salmon were observed migrating upstream in the 34 rivers where counts were conducted. [2] These figures cannot be compared as though they represent exactly the same people, fish, and rivers. Even so, placing them side by side raises a legitimate question: How much pressure can a declining salmon population still withstand? Main Results for 2025 Indicator Result Clarification Salmon fishing licences sold 13,620 Number of licences, not necessarily unique anglers Licences sold to residents 11,486 Includes all salmon licence categories Licences sold to non-residents 2,134 Includes all salmon licence categories Fishing activity 49,458 fishing days Full or partial days spent fishing Adult salmon observed 13,133 Counted in 34 rivers Reported catches 10,918 Fish retained and released Reported releases 10,016 A minimum because reporting is not mandatory Salmon retained 902 680 small salmon and 222 large salmon Proportion released 92% Share of reported catches Decline in total returns 45% Compared with the previous five-year average Decline in multi-sea-winter salmon 68% Salmon that spent more than one winter at sea Increase in grilse 10% Salmon that spent one winter at sea A Contrast That Is Difficult to Ignore At first glance, the contrast is striking: 13,620 licences sold versus 13,133 salmon counted. However, it would be incorrect to claim that there were more anglers than salmon across Quebec as a whole. First, one licence does not necessarily represent one different person. Some licences can be combined, and one individual may purchase more than one licence during a season. [3] Second, the 13,133 salmon were counted in only 34 rivers, while Quebec has 114 waterways officially designated as salmon rivers. The count therefore does not represent every salmon that returned to the province. [2] Third, the 10,918 reported catches do not necessarily represent 10,918 different fish. The same salmon may be caught, released, and caught again. These clarifications prevent an overly simplistic comparison. They do not, however, eliminate the underlying concern: substantial fishing pressure is still being placed on the rivers at a time when salmon returns are falling sharply. Nearly 50,000 Days of Presence on the Rivers The number of licences provides an indication of the popularity of salmon fishing. The number of fishing days gives a better picture of the pressure being exerted on the rivers. In 2025, 49,458 fishing days were recorded. That represents about 3.6 fishing days per licence sold, although this average does not account for people holding multiple licences or those who purchased a licence but did not use it. Of course, not every fishing day results in a catch. Many anglers finish the season without catching a single salmon. Even so, nearly 50,000 fishing days represent thousands of hours spent casting flies into pools where salmon rest before spawning. Across the province, that pressure may appear widely distributed. On a smaller river where only a few dozen or a few hundred salmon return, it can become significant. Catch-and-Release Does Not Eliminate All Impacts Catch-and-release is an important conservation measure. In 2025, 10,016 of the 10,918 reported catches were released, representing 92% of all reported catches. Only 902 salmon were retained. [2] A salmon released properly can continue its migration and reach the spawning grounds. However, catch-and-release is never completely without consequence. Since 2015, the ministry has applied an estimated 7% mortality rate to released salmon in its management calculations. This is intended to avoid overestimating the number of spawning fish remaining in the rivers. [2] Applied theoretically to the 10,016 reported releases in 2025, that rate would represent approximately: 701 potential deaths. This does not mean that 701 dead fish were found. It is a theoretical estimate based on the mortality rate used by the ministry. Other effects may also occur, including exhaustion from the fight, injuries, handling, time spent out of the water, repeated captures, and the additional stress caused by warm water. The report also states that reporting released fish is not mandatory. The figure of 10,016 therefore represents a minimum. [2] The Decline of Large Salmon The 68% decline in multi-sea-winter salmon is probably the most alarming result in the 2025 report. Multi-sea-winter salmon have spent more than one winter at sea. They are generally larger and include a higher proportion of females than grilse. Their contribution to reproduction is therefore especially important. [2] A decline in large salmon does not simply mean fewer prized fish for anglers. It may also mean fewer eggs deposited and a reduced ability for populations to renew themselves. When large females become rare, every fish that reaches the spawning grounds becomes even more biologically valuable. The question should therefore not be limited to whether a large salmon can survive after being caught. We must also ask whether some populations should be disturbed less in the first place. A Contradiction in Our Approach Salmon fishing has genuine cultural, social, and economic value. It supports guides, outfitters, river managers, businesses, and many regional communities. Anglers are also often among the strongest defenders of salmon rivers and salmon habitat. It would therefore be unfair to present anglers as the sole cause of the decline. Salmon face many pressures: climate change, warming water, low flows, marine conditions, habitat loss, predation, and other human activities. Sport fishing is not the only cause of declining salmon populations. It is, however, one of the pressures Quebec can regulate directly and immediately. While salmon returns are falling, organizations continue to offer mentorship programs, workshops, and promotional activities designed to attract new anglers. Training new participants is not inherently wrong. A well-trained angler can become a stronger advocate for salmon and adopt better handling practices. But one contradiction remains: Can we continue recruiting more and more anglers without first determining how much pressure the rivers can truly withstand? We cannot describe the state of salmon as alarming while continuing to expand participation as though the resource were still abundant. Managing Fishing Effort, Not Only Harvest For many years, salmon management focused mainly on how many fish could be retained. As populations declined, catch-and-release became the main solution. But replacing harvest with release does not necessarily solve the entire problem if the number of captures and the overall fishing pressure remain high. A broader strategy could include: seasonal limits on the number of releases per angler; limits on the number of fishing days allowed on vulnerable rivers; automatic closures when water temperatures reach critical levels; refuge pools or river sections where fishing is prohibited; reduced promotion of rivers with critically low populations; management adapted to each individual population; mandatory reporting of catches and releases; a better system for counting unique anglers. The goal would not necessarily be to end salmon fishing. It would be to ensure that fishing practices evolve in step with the condition of the resource. Changing How We Define Success The success of a fishing season should no longer be measured only by the number of catches, the catch rate, or angler satisfaction. A successful season should also be one in which: more salmon reach the spawning grounds; large females are protected; repeated captures are reduced; temperature-related closures happen quickly; weakened populations begin to recover. The best fishing season may no longer be the one in which the greatest number of salmon are caught. It may be the one in which the greatest number of salmon are left undisturbed. Conclusion The 2025 figures do not allow us to claim directly that there is one angler for every salmon. Licences do not necessarily represent unique individuals, the salmon count covers only 34 rivers, and the same salmon may be caught more than once. But the contrast remains troubling: 13,620 licences sold; 49,458 fishing days; 10,918 reported catches; 13,133 salmon counted in monitored rivers; a 45% decline in total returns; a 68% decline in multi-sea-winter salmon. The question is no longer simply: How many salmon can we still catch? It should now become: How many salmon must we leave completely undisturbed to secure their future? And above all: With so few salmon, is there still room for ever more anglers?
