This video of striped bass moving upstream and into fresh water was taken at head-of-tide on the NW Miramichi on May 21, 2022. This was a week after the smolt run started. This bass migration occurred for several hours. They could be caught on virtually every cast with a streamer fly, so were definitely feeding. DFO claims striped bass have no effect on the NW Miramichi salmon population. Draw your own conclusion.
