Join us on May 14th, 2025, for the PALM Film Festival hosted by the ARA and the Atlantic Salmon Federation. The evening will feature 2 adventure movies produced by Hooké, and the screening of the documentary Scale of Change: Together for Wild Salmon presented by Hooké & ASF in collaboration with Loop Tackle. This special gathering is dedicated to the conservation of wild salmon and the protection of wild rivers. You can learn more about the documentary and purchase tickets online through www.scaleofchange.org.
ARA will also have a silent auction set up with lots of great items. There will be time before the films begin to place bids, and there will also be an intermission.
Like all the best movie experiences, there will be popcorn available for purchase at the event.

The first Rivernotes of 2025 is here! 🎣
ASF is thrilled to kick off a new season of Rivernotes with fresh updates from across the region — and to introduce our new editor, Adam Hodnett! Adam is a seasoned journalist with a deep love for wild rivers, and we’re excited to have him leading the charge this year.
In this opening issue:
🐟 Reports from New Brunswick, where the spring salmon fishery is off to a strong start
🐟 A special note on last year’s diminished Gulf returns, and how ASF and our partners are responding
🐟 Infrastructure updates from Maine and Newfoundland
🐟 Reminders about new regs, invasive species, and the power of moving water
Here’s a taste from Adam’s editor’s note:
“Some of our rivers are roaring so loudly this time of year you can barely hear the person beside you… Underneath it all, wild salmon parr, smolt, and kelt are ready for spring.”
Don’t miss the first Rivernotes of the season — it’s time to dream of strong runs and wild rivers once again.
