Avoiding bad Salmon river fishing practices

[OldTimer]

Overall my feelings here are the same as yours Muskiebait.

In fact fall fishing for trout is one of my favourite things to do. Yes they do bite lures and bait – I once had a Georgian Bay steelhead chase a Lazy Ike right up onto the shore. Plus - they are in prime shape for both a spectacular battle and for the table.

And I’d also like to point out clearly that I am not against fishing salmon in the tribs. It is legal, it is fun, and you can on occasion catch one following all the rules (I’ve done it)……….. Just do it right, and enjoy the outing Beaser.

I would like to share one last thing here to show what other regulatory agencies have done re salmon fishing laws………. This is a clipping from the current 2012 New York State fishing regulations:

   

Interesting approaches aren’t they?

Cheers,
