Huh? If you're asking why they increased the limit from one, there are "too many small salmon around"
At the mouth of the river at Sebago in the Spring, it's East to West unless you want a beating from the rest!
If you the reader were solely responsible for the lake's management, what would be your regulations on lake trout and salmon and why?
I've only fished sebago a few times with not many fish caught, but I have seen the large salmon during spawning season, and they're usually over 24" and I've seen a few that were definitely over 30. Just catching those are far in between if there's so many little ones that feed aggressively.
I don't have a lot of experience in the grand scheme of things, and didn't fish last season (gulp), but felt this year things were looking up for salmon. I can say 1/3 of my salmon trips have put a salmon between 20-23 inches in the boat. Have not seen many under 14 inches. Most in that 17-18 inch range which I seem to remember from years past(last 4 or so). Outside salmon, I havent caught a decent togue all year. Might be my methods but all the ones I catch look to have come from a mold. 22-24 inches. Well fed. Infested with them. I have a rule with my girls that we head out, once they each catch a fish we go tubing or swimming. Sunday I dropped the riggers sat down, both rods went off, 2 twin 23 inchers in the net and I hauled it all in and put on my bathing suit. Other day I caught a couple 11-13 inchers. Don't think I ever have. Might be my new finder, but I don't mark the bait like in years past. I couldn't even guess as to what the regs should be but a 23-33 inch togue is a smelt eater and I can't believe they want to protect those.
