Atlantic salmon groups await word on hook-and-release rules
(CBC, February 23, 2017)


Fisheries and Oceans Canada is being pushed to decide soon on whether anglers can keep any salmon caught in Gulf of St. Lawrence rivers this year. Some groups call for end to mandatory release of grilse, but others say numbers still too low.

Hmm, seems like a no brainer to keep it closed even with the high numbers of male Grilse....give them a chance to be adults at least
