Thanks for sharing http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Fishing/salmon_anglers_pledge.html
dont get me wrong i enjoy salmon and trout fishing and release probably 98% of the fish I catch in fresh water BUT i think it is time that NH invests in some other species that would thrive here and give a great chance at a trophy fishery. This is a great thread to promote proper catch and release tho so good post... just my 2 cents
Have any idea Wolf? I have a friend who want to go with brook trout instead of rainbows in the Big Lake?? But! Any other species as exciting and catchable as landlocked salmon would soon face the same problem!! They would be fished so heavily that they would never make "trophy" size! It would make for a good discussion!!Dick
i never understood why we have never gave the same effort into walleye and northern pike fisheries as we have the broodstock salmon and the landlocks. I feel as they are a heartier species and may even naturally reproduce? I know in some bodies of water they have stocked them in the past but not in the same efforts and numbers as the salmon. just a thought though i enjoy catching most species of fish and maybe im jaded as i love cathin eyes and pike
It sure would be great if there was a joint effort by both States to improve the walleye and pike fishery!! It would really great if they could inject some walleye in the section downriver from the Ryegate dam!! A simple slot limit just doesn't seem to be enough to increase the number of walleye.Dick
