Film Screening and Community Discussion: The Saranac River & Atlantic Salmon
March 7, 2026, 1-5 pm ET
@ SUNY Plattsburgh
31 Beekman St., Plattsburgh, NY 12901
Our Trout Unlimited chapter is planning a free film screening focused on the Saranac River, Atlantic salmon, and river restoration efforts in our region.
The event will include a screening of three short films from Hooké, along with an introductory video from Hooké founder Fred Campbell. We’re also working to include a speaker from the Atlantic Salmon Federation.
Following the films, we’ll spend time connecting these stories to local issues—particularly the role of river barriers and what they mean for salmon migration and habitat on the Saranac River. This includes ongoing conversations in our community around the Imperial Dam and the future of the river.
