Salmon snaggers

I Can't understand why the Ministry doesn't just make every Lake Huron trib a Fish Sanctuary come the fall.
Then maybe we would see numbers increase out there.

well I mean if we don't fish for the fish in the great lakes why are they there? lol

I will not fish the Eastern tribs anymore either. it's a mess and there are not enough CO's out there to just sit on a river every day.

A buddy of mine and i used to fish the maitland for years it was relatively decent outing but the last few years we did go snagger central now my buddy is a big lad and on more than one occasion i watched him grab a slob with a snagged fish and pitch the hole lot back into the river funniest thing you ever saw , some of them actually apoligized and went about there bussiness others pushed it until the cell phone comes out and a MNR call is made giveing them the description of the person location and usually what they where driveing if we felt inclined to follow them to the parking lot ,lol
Sad thing is i cant take my daughter down to see them for fear of what she would see and then try to explain whats wrong about what there doing .It just bites

This is an interesting point. So many (if not all) other fish species are protected during their spawning periods, so why not Salmon.
Obviously this would put a pretty big damper on it for guys like me that fish the rivers, but I think that you are right, the fish populations would likely increase significantly.

Pacific salmon are considered a put and take fishery. The general perception of the pacifics is that they don't spawn successfully in any great numbers in our rivers and streams. I do know that there has been a joint project with the United states to get a better definitive answer on spawning success by stocking every salmon in the lake with it's adipose fin clipped. this has been going on for 4 years now, so this is the first year mature fish are returning. In theory any fish that has it's adipose fin is natural and any clipped fish is stocked.

I'd rather deal with losers and morons than not be able to or give up on fishing. If you stay away then you let them and their ignorance/arrogance win. You'd be surprised how fast they run away or fall in line when you bust out your phone and start filming their exploits.

me and my buddies used to start going up to the maitland,bayfield and niner around mid september but just got sick of the morons and snaggers. Now we wait until late october and even into mid november to go. By then the cold weather has left most of the idiots home and thats when the big bows start moving in except you have to know what you are doing to catch them so the snaggers usually pack it in.
