fall salmon fishing

[grasshopper999]

i talked to mnr its okay to catch take some roe and release the fish

Read my earlier post carefully. Beads, pinkies, jigs and flies. Not just beads. And I do very very well without roe. Presentation is the key.

Yes roe works very well sometimes but I can't be bothered with the mess and storage of it. No Thanks. I can't afford the cost of roe so I don't use it. Like somebody said here you can use one bead all day if you find the right one.

I can decide to go out at a moments notice and be out fishing with artificial baits and catch a ton of fish. All my catches are catch and release. I get a ton of satisfaction catching a trout on a fly/jog I tied or a bead that I painted.

I don't have any problem with roe fishermen, just the pigs that slit a pile of salmon and them chum cup fulls weeks later. Yes I know chumming is legal.

Port Hope is making changes to control the carnage. Maybe one day the regulations will just prohibit organic baits for trout and salmon. Stiffer fines for poaching, snagging and over fishing would be great too.

Just my 2.6 cents .....muddler

No such thing. Illegal to sell roe unless you are a certified aqua-culturist. As a bait dealer I need to have a receipt handy to prove where it came from. Anglers can harvest and cure their own Roe for bait. It is Illegal to allow fish to spoil therefore you can't leave the carcass on the river banks. Take it home and find a suitable 2nd use not consider waste. Compost is acceptable.

it is illegal to allow fish that are edible for human consumption to spoil..... the salmon that runs the river is not edible for human consumption

check the regs I believe it is illegal tohave in your possession roe without the fish

I was under the impression that you can take the roe, but it goes against your daily possession limit, even if you release the fish.

Where are the CO's? We all know salmon season is the worst for poachers why not increase CO activity in these areas? I would support some sort of special license for river salmon if the money went directly to getting this show under control.

my thoughts exactly, there should be one parked there all day

How many of you keep and eat the salmon ? If I was a betting man I'd say slim to none eat these salmon. They are full of holes and basically swimming zombies. Catch and release is the way to go. I haven't kept a fish in YEARS. I want my daughters generation and my grandkids to be able to go and catch fish.

If we keep this up the sport of fishing will be merely a urban legend and a story we tell our grandkids of what fishing was.

It's always after the fact that we realize maybe we should have done something. Reactive instead of being proactive. I'll do my part and keep this as a sport and hobby. Fish can stay in the water. The Idea of keeping fish for food to support a family is ludicrous and doesn't make any sense financially. After rods, reels, gas and various other costs to this hobby its not exactly ground breaking savings here.

Sorry for the rant, however, this topic hits a nerve for me and I got so sick and tired of the idiots littering, snagging, netting and generally being nasty people.

As for the MNR. Forget it. With lack of funding and shortages of conservation officers that is a losing battle. I haven't seen one in years. If you strive to become one you'd be better off trying to run for prime minister.

The responsibility falls on us
