 Salmon River/Lake Ontario, Reader contributions -- February, 1997
Because rather than cruising around the lower river on slow fishing days with the heavy tackle and stringer ropes, they were willing spend money on new equipment, learn new fishing methods and ethics (sort of) and RELEASE fish just so that could catch them and catch more of them.
Again I get the feeling they are portraying the Salmon river as a "meat fisherman's river" and not a place for those who just take pleasure in being on the river a maybe catching a steelie or two.
Much has changed with the River since that time and while the days of fishing all day without encountering another rod will never return, anything to improve the level of sportsmanship among fellow anglers is desirable.
