It was suggested to move my reply from a fishing report page to this forum.
After a long guiding career I truly think that sport fishermen need to take the initiative regarding the dwindling Chinook numbers and close the Salmon fishery from Nov 1 until at least Mid February to let the little guys grow a bit. There is a proven thru must sampling a 10% mortality on most sport fish.
Not sure I understand this one, do you think it's better to hammer the mature fish
returning to spawn ?
lets be reasonable, any fishing removes fish
“I think the baby salmon don’t survive that well from my 30 plus years of guiding.
I’m sure that my opinion on this subject won’t be too popular with a lot of people and I can accept that but beating up on babies trying to weed some keepers is no different than trying to catch a hatchery coho amongst a school of wild ones.”
