Living in New England just about my whole life is where I started fishing for Atlantics on the Merrimack and the Connectuit river out there. They are decent fish and the fight resembles the fight of a steelhead. The biggest one that I ever caught wqas 14lbs and the guy said that is an awesome size fish. It is fly fishing only for them. They release the fish out there as Broodstock they dont release them as smolt. There is a lot of Bass and Pickerol and nice size Browns and they would just go crazy on the river eating the smolt. But yes the Atlantics do go up and down like the steelhead and fishing for them is like fishing for steelies also. They also are in the rivers just about all the time not like our salmon runs out here where they run all at one time they are always running through the rivers.

Fish On
