2011 SALMON RIVER - SALMON AND STEELHEAD Thread

[fishing mechanic]

Great info, Snag!  Thanks!

For the record, I'm not so sure 'everyone' who releases fish puts them on a pedestal... 

Some people fish everyday, yet eat nothing but perch and sunnies (like me).
Is it fair to say that some fish are more valued alive then dead?  There are some fish I'd like the chance to hook and fight again...

But that should, of course, be the choice of each person who buys a fishing license and helps fund the stocking.

Some of us just like having fun and fighting 'em!

For example, would you kill and eat this fish if you caught it in your frontyard?  Would you want it to get bigger to catch it again?



Same here, I don't fish everyday, but I only keep the "eaters" everything else gets released.

We went up yesterday for some catfish bait ( Fall Fish) we got about 20 of them and 2 small smallies. We seen Northwoods Drifting down the River, Nice seeing you NW. I am getting her ready for the fall with the centerpin. She watched the the float and she told my when to set the hook and I let her reel them in. Stopped at the hatchery and seen some tank Browns and Atlantic's about 30 where in the raceway. Snagg hope you feel better soon.
