New Angling Regulations for the Sackville and Little Sackville
Rivers, Nova Scotia Tuesday, April 01, 2003.
Not that long ago, the Sackville River was one of the premiere
Salmon Rivers in Nova Scotia. The river even supported a hatchery
that was used for seeding other NS Rivers with both Speckled Trout
and Atlantic Salmon. Unfortunately, due to rapid development and
urbanization, with their attendant impacts, in the early 1960's and
Acid Rain even today, the Atlantic Salmon runs were almost wiped
out.
When the Sackville Rivers Association was founded in 1988, only
six salmon that were counted in the river that year. Through
stocking and ongoing habitat restoration, with the support of
Fisheries and Oceans Canada and other partners, the Sackville River
has shown increasing salmon returns. In 1996, a DFO mark/recapture
indicated over 750 Atlantic Salmon had returned to the river.
The SRA, along with DFO, operates an Atlantic Salmon counter on
the river and last year over 150 Atlantic Salmon were counted on
their return to the Sackville River. After years of lobbying to
have the river scheduled "fly fishing only" the SRA's efforts were
rewarded this spring with the implementation of the 2003 N.S.
Angling Regulations. These new regulations (fly fishing only) apply
only to specific sections of the river from June 1st until October
31st, and are designed to protect Atlantic Salmon stocks while
encouraging other angling experiences.
For complete details consult the Nova Scotia Angler's handbook
and 2003 Summary of Regulations.
The Sackville River will be the first Nova Scotia river to be
scheduled since 1993 and becomes the 23rd Scheduled River or
portion of river to be scheduled in Nova Scotia. This scheduling
will help in restoration efforts of Atlantic Salmon in the
Sackville River and should increase tourism to the river.
Our thanks to the staff of Department of Fisheries and Oceans
and Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (Inland
Fisheries Division) for implementing these regulations. This was
achieved through the consolation process involving the ZMAC 21
Advisory Committee Meetings, the Recreational Fisheries Advisory
Council Meetings (RFAC) and involved user groups. The Sackville
Rivers Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to the
restoration and preservation of the Sackville River Watershed's
natural habitat for the enhancement of adjacent communities and
properties and to increase awareness and concern for the
cleanliness of our urban and rural areas.
