Many small California coastal rivers had wild Silver salmon over 50 years ago.

Those wild runs of Silvers are all gone now.

Today they have hatchery Silver runs on the Trinity, Klamath and Rogue Rivers.

In CA in the past 20 years they have been trying to bring back some Silvers in the small, shorter coastal river that use to have them.

Friend Mike Williams was out of Bodega Bay trolling for King salmon last week and said the Silver salmon were very thick.

He said they were 22-24". They caught and released about a dozen Silvers while they were catching a limit of 4 King salmon.
