fall salmon fishing

Most guys don't keep the roe for bait, they keep them to eat, as most of these guys are European and its considered a delicacy in Europe, salmon and trout caviar goes for $80-120 in most European stores, not even gonna say anything about sturgeon caviar prices.....

I've seen a group getting charge for just gutting the fish and dumping it. And I have also see a person who got charged for taking Atlanitic salmon. Serves them right.

I don't think too many guys eat the roe. Most use it to fish for bows...then they eat the bows. I guess they also get a thrill of hooking big, powerful fish in a foot or two of water ??? One salmon would provide a year's worth of roe to most fishermen; unfortunately some guys harvest it by the bucketload and use it as chum, etc. etc.
For those only interested in roe, I would suggest heading to the fish cleaning stations when the charters come in; often the roe is discarded in the fish cleaning process.

Why is catching a 20lbs+ fish on 4-6lbs test out of 1-2ft of water lame and unsporting but catching a 3-5lbs fish on 30-50lbs test out of 1-2ft of water not?
Just sayin, you can dump on anything if you want, just don't see the point. Fish for what you like, just don't crap on others if it's not your thing.

Very true. I use brown trout roe for rainbows and a few French charter guys in port hope load me up for a few beers.

there is a huge market for selling roe in the city .. it is very very expensive...

Lots of guys eat the roe, any Russian guy you see (basically all the fishermen that take the roe and throw the fish out) eats roe. They go at night and snag a bunch and keep only the roe, they don't even take bows, they catch fish strictly for roe. The other guys do use it for bait but not that many people use salmon roe for bait and even if they would, one salmon has plenty of roe. On the other hand if you're eating the roe, roe from one salmon will barely last a week...

there is a guy who visits the ganny daily during salmon season and he takes his 5 females a day every day he live in Kingston and all he wants is the eggs ..

this is great some good points made where to get roe good idea , people eat the roe , never crossed my mind , people selling roe , not to smart , but were near a big city so easy to do, so i think with this rain salmon will be in ,so if you can be the on look out for what we all don,t like to see and don,t be afraid to speak up or just call mnr or you can call local police they will come as well thanks and lets see if we cann,t make a difference

so some salmon up at bronte but not enough to make it worth going yet, how is it bowmanville, wilmont , and port hope all have good runs yet nothing down here their only maybe 30 miles north of bronte , it doesn,t make sense the only good thing is bronte and the credit are open till the end of the year at least parts of them while the others close sept 30
