Trout & Salmon Swim Into The St. Joseph River For the first time in Indiana history, Hoosier trout and salmon are swimming home to Indiana, announced Patrick R. Ralston, director of the Department of Natural Resources. The sport fish will swim 63 miles of the St. Joseph River from Michigan into Indiana for the first time during their fall spawning run. Their trek begins at Lake Michigan and ends at the Twin Branch dam in Mishawaka. "This marks a great opportunity for Hoosier anglers to do some serious fishing,” Ralston said. Beginning Monday, Oct. 14, anglers should sec steelhead trout and chinook salmon swimming into Indiana waters. With help from the Michigan DNR, this spawning run marks a major success for the Indiana fisheries program. This longawaited run resulted from ten years of joint efforts between the Indiana and Michigan agencies and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is the first interstate fisheries management agreement of its kind. For nearly 20 years, the Michigan DNR has maintained an outstanding trout and salmon fishery in the lower St. Joseph River in southwest Michigan. However, dams along the river prevented the fish from swimming upstream into Indiana during their spawning migration. The Indiana and Michigan DNRs, along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, developed a cooperative fisheries agreement during the 1980 s to extend these runs up 63 miles of the river into Indiana. The agreement called for building fish ladders, specially constructed passageways, at two dams in each state that blocked upstream fish movement. Indiana completed a fish ladder at the South Bend dam in 1988, followed by completion of Michigan's fish ladder at the Buchanan dam in 1990. The fish ladder at the Mishawaka dam was completed this year. In addition, the Indiana DNR constructed the Twin Branch Hatchery in 1983 to stock the St. Joseph River with trout and salmon for this program. The final ladder at Niles, Michigan, dam was beset with delays, stopping returning fish short of the Indiana state line. While the Niles ladder has yet to be completed, construction is far enough along to temporarily allow numerous fish to continue their spawning run into Indiana this fall. The temporary opening of the Niles fish ladder should extend into mid-November. Completion of the Niles fish ladder is projected for mid-winter. "The cooperative fisheries management program between Indiana and Michigan enables thousands of anglers in both states to get the most out of fishing on the St. Joseph River,” said Ralston. "I would like to thank the Michigan DNR for working to pass fish through an active construction zone at Niles to allow our anglers to enjoy some prime fishing this season.” The temporary opening of the Niles fish ladder also is possible through the cooperation of the French Paper Company at Niles, Reinke & Son Construction Company at South Bend, and Hardman Construction Company at Ludington, Michigan. Interest in model railroading as a hobby began after the Chicago World's Fair of 1933-34. Model railroad exhibits at the fair spurred this interest.
