Salmon schools could be spotted as far north as Perth this Easter with a bumper season forecast.
The best season in years is forecast as currents bring the fish further northEach autumn millions of Australian salmon arrive in the annual "salmon run" with fishers spending an estimated $300 million each year chasing the sport fish along the south and south-west coastlines.
Recfishwest operations manager Matt Gillett said more numbers were expected along the west coast this season."Some of the factors that drive a good salmon season are really strong capes current, a northward-flowing current that comes from the Southern Ocean and pushes up the west coast," he said. "You don't have to have specialist gear. You don't have to own a boat. You can literally buy a cheap rod and reel from your local tackle shop, get a lure or a bag of bait and head down and be in with a great chance."Australian salmon are far less popular than their more sought after relative, Atlantic salmon.
