URGENT AND SERIOUS MESSAGE!!!!
Altmar is going private!
LOTAC received an email from a credible person with knowledge of the situation and we may lose public access on the north side of the river just like we lost the south side.
His email more a less stated:
There is a group of fishermen forming to battle the apparent takeover of Public Fishing Rights on the north side of the Salmon River below the bridge at Altmar, all the way to Ellis Cove. Woodbine Group, of Syracuse (Norm Swanson) already bought the south side of the river from below the Schoolhouse Pool up to near the bridge. In late October, 2013 Swanson bought a lot bordering the north bank for $40,000. National Grid owns all the other land/lots on the north side except New York State owned parking lot. If someone gets inLOTAC is currently leading the charge and could use our help. Remember, you don't need to agree onThis is a tax payer funded hatchery and we tax payers should be able to fish it every aspect but this is an organized group that obviously cares about the river! http://www.lotac.org/ or https://www.facebook.com/groups/261854638504/
bed with National Grid the PFR's on the south side will be lost to Ellis Cove. This is urgent, and immediate steps are being taken. The DEC states PFR's are "permanent" but they already dropped the ball on the south side and powerful lawyers, etc. can surprise the public.
This is a serious matter for all of us.

This has been reposted to inform all who fish the Salmon River. I fish it many times through the year and hate to see a fishery become privatized. Anyone who fishes this waterway should get involved and help.
